James Suckling 95 points: Darker fruit on the nose with walnut, spice box, incense and espresso bean, too. Medium-bodied, firm and structured with polished tannins and a creamy, compact mid-palate. Quality dark oak spice throughout. Long and rich. Better from 2024.
Parker - Larner 94+ points: An iconic wine of Tuscany, the Fèlsina 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia (made with 48,000 bottles) is distinguished by its special aromatic fingerprint that truly brings us to a sense of place. At its heart, the wine reveals dark fruit and plum. More interesting, however, are the dusty mineral sensations that give so much texture and depth to the Rancia. These aromas can only be found in Sangiovese from the galestro and alberese-rich soils of Chianti Classico. This vintage follows up with sweet tobacco, toasted chestnut and scorched earth. Give this wine more time to flesh out and evolve in the bottle.
Falstaff 94 points: Intense ruby red color. The bouquet is young, balanced, with well-pronounced fresh floral notes, followed by fruity notes of berries and cherries. On the palate, fresh, lively and still fruity, with a light mineral trace, persistent and spicy.
Dunnuck 94 points: Amplified even further is the 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia, which offers up a musky cologne of cedar, cherry licorice, cracked pepper, and menthol. It is medium to full bodied, with a rich tannin structure, a broad mid-palate, and a long, fragrant finish. This will certainly be a wine that needs time in cellar and will continue to improve over the coming 10-15 years. Drink 2025-2040.
