  December 15, 2022 - Tasted blimd. This is as good as it gets. Rose petals and cherry nose. Light on its feet with super fine tannins. Sweet core of fruit, elegant and with a lovely acidity. Surprisingly young tasting and delicious.

  October 23, 2022 - Perfectly mature.
  
  Opened 5 hours before. A quick decant, and the back in the bottle to slow ox until serving.
  
  The nose was quite well developed, but still fresh. Dried flowers, earthy, Mushroom, dark cherries, leather and dusty red fruit.
  
  On the palate it had velvety soft tannins that just coats the entire mouth. Sour cherries, tobacco, wood and earthy tones in complete harmony. Long lingering finish.
  This is at peak, or maybe even a year or two over. Enjoy now!

  March 12, 2022 - Tasted blind next to the 2001. Wonderful nose of cherries, crushed rose petals. Great acidity, super fine tannins, great length. Notes of dried herbs, pork rinds. Very good and still has years ahead.

  December 23, 2021 - open in bottle for 5h, after that decanted for 1 more hour.
  
  expressive and deeply layered nose with predominately herbs and darkish-red fruits. cinnamon and leather. rustical.
  compared to the Cicala 10 we had side-by-side this 97 Gran Bussia seemed much less extracted and already smoothened out.
  tannins grippy.
  
  could keep it for another decade at least, imo not at the peak yet.

  December 23, 2021 - - Was opened for 5 hours in the bottle, without decanting.
  - Nose: Wow, the Granbussia is full on with earthy notes, mushrooms, plus red fruits of figs, plums and more herbaceous notes, white pepper and caramel. An incredible freshness, depth and variety, you could spend hours with it!
  - Palate: What comes to mind here? Is just totally mega awesome, wonderful drinkability (acidity medium +) and freshness with earthy and slightly mushroomy character. Medium + tannins that are velvety and beautifully integrated. Rich in finesse and beautifully long on the finish - lasts forever. Wow wow wow!
  - Can be drunk very well now, but still has a good 10 years + potential in my opinion. 96-97 (!) points. One of the best/complete Baroli I have drunk so far.
