Holy smokes this is good. Backbone aplenty and intense acidity define this beauty. Red fruit and licorice about. It tastes like a baby still. Indeed, in the coming years I'm sure it'll become much more giving. I've been using my Coravin on the 2013 Felsina Rancia for around a month. Consistent impressions so far.

Nose has ripe plum, ripe blackberry, black currant, mashed black cherry, crunchy dry leaves, moist soil and mild cedar notes. Palate has tart plum, blackberries from a heavily rainy grow season (not concentrated), dried cranberry, dried cherry, leather, touch of cocoa powder and (light) anise/licorice. Tannins are still making themselves known, but not obtrusive. Young bottle, future bottles may be 2021-23 in hopes of more palate concentration. A lovely producer whose entire lineup is worthy of your attention. A solid wine for the vintage, embrace and be happy. (Likely better scoring at an 8th or 10th year birthday.)

Deeply impressed today by the utterly classic 2013 Felsina Rancia - Earth-driven dark red fruits, dried flowers, leather and dusty spices greeted me on the nose, followed by an intense yet structured palate. There's so much depth here that's likely to take decades to unfurl. I can only image how much fun it's going to be to follow this wine. I'll be hiding a case in the cellar for the long haul.

A little bit more mature notes than last time. Ripe cherry, liqourice and almost balmasic. Very nice! I want to see where this is going with more cellar time.

Rich and dark. Luscious mouth feel. Medium acidity and integrated tannins. Black fruit dominate this with underlying earth tones.

Black cherry and currant with cedar acidic finish. Holy moly. Yum. It’s a little early for this but so delicious
