October 26, 2021 - Bottle breathe (opened then cork back) for 15 hour, and brief decanting before serving. Attractive flowers, prunes (plum?), cedar and leather with some acidity. Medium body, smooth and elegant like Burgundy red at its peak but with power. Medium finishing. Very good structure, and mature enough to drink now.

August 12, 2021 - Both Paul and I brought this Granbussia, Paul was 1995 and mine was 2005. Besides the different in lable, 95' vintage shown none age different on the same wine, though mine was opened 4 hours and Paul's was 1 hour in bottle before serving. Both had similar nose of tobacco perfume, pale red ruby colour, silky noble palate and strong structure of sour cherry notes and medium body, long after taste. 2005 was an average vintage but still had many years to go.

February 27, 2021 - As usual I opened early to let it air. Seemed much more traditional at this mature state. Subtle cherry fruit, great minerality, grape tannins integrated and soft. Good balance between fruit and acidity. Is medium bodied yet holds up well to rich beefy flavors well. A really nicely produced wine.

June 7, 2020 - Opened 12 hours upon serving into Zalto Burgundy glass (“Fruit” day): Pale garnet with bricking rims.
Classic tar and roses after 2 hours of drinking, liquorice, herbal spices.
Very enjoyable now with high acidity, minerality, well integrated tannins.
94 points.
