Fèlsina Vin Santo del Chianti Classico Berardenga 2008 375ml

96 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "Hold your horses, this is one spectacular Vin Santo that explodes with intensity and authenticity. The Fèlsina 2008 Vin Santo del Chianti Classico is a true work of art, and I recommend that you sit back to savor every single special sip of this traditional sweet wine from Tuscany. The bouquet offers thick layers of candied fruit, apricot, honey, brown sugar and maple syrup. It is sweet, but in a delicate way. It provides enough tangy fruit, freshness, spice and toasted nut to magically appear less sweet than it actually is. Smoke, camphor ash and dried mint appear on the extra long finish. Drink: 2020-2045. (Aug 2020)"

94 points James Suckling: "A gorgeous, caramel and toffee-laden white with hints of salt and honey. It’s full, very sweet and flavorful. Goes on for minutes. Drink now. (7/1/20)"

93 points Wine Spectator: "[$48/375ml list] This has mellowed to a caramel- and brandy-flavored dessert wine, with walnut, mushroom and iodine details. Bold and multifaceted, with a long, lightly tannic, walnut skin–accented finish. Trebbiano, Malvasia and Sangiovese. Drink now. 1,500 cases made. (10/31/20)"
