1995 Fattoria di Fèlsina Berardenga Chianti Classico Riserva - Italy, Tuscany, Chianti, Chianti Classico DOCG (12/31/2012)
Antonio Galloni nailed this wine about 8 months ago when he posted a note on eRobertParker. I bought several after Garagiste got their mitts on some. This bottle was stunning. After just a few minutes of air, this bottle was rich, round, harmonious and long. Lovely damp earth, cherry fruit. Layered and complex. I always felt the Felsina wines could age for a long time (Rancia), but it was a terrific surprise as to just how good this bottle was. (93 pts.)

Byron,
I agree; beautiful wine. I wish I had bought a case or three. I did pick up a 3 liter for some future special occasion, but my few remaining 750’s are clearly endangered bottles.
Happy New Year,
Warren
