2010 Fattoria di Fèlsina Berardenga Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia - Italy, Tuscany, Chianti, Chianti Classico DOCG (3/12/2025)
When I first pulled the cork this was thin, almost tasteless. Thirty minutes later it started to fill in. Two hours later, as I sipped my second glass it came together. Aroma, depth, and flavor were all significantly amplified from when I first opened it, and it finally felt like a real bottle of Rancia. It was still on upswing when I finished my glass, so if I open any more soon I will decant a couple of hours ahead. I am still reasonably bullish on this vintage.
