2006 Felsina Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia

 In a somewhat disjointed phase (or perhaps bottle variation). Too tannic on the first day, then better on day 2 and day 3. Deep black cherry fruit up front giving way to some heat and not a lot of complexity on the finish. Definitely not in the same league as the legendary 2004 vintage Rancia, which has been beautiful throughout its life.  The 2006 may be in a race to see if the fruit outlives the tannins.
