Betsy got back yesterday, after an early flight she was a bit too
tired to cook, so I picked up salad on way home, and later we picked up a pizza. I opened the 2005 Felsina Chianti Classico. Good acids, some tannin. Spicy, a little dried cherry and black cherry, a touch of earth. Not as long a finish as the '04 or '01 (to name a couple recent favorites from Felsina), but still a decent mid-bodied Chianti. With the 06s arriving no need to look for more of this, but if on closeout or a restaurant list I'd consider. B Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.* |
