Beautiful wine just entering the drinking window. I recommend to wait at least a couple years as I expect this will evolve to at least 95 points. Compared to La Spinetta Gallina, Busso is cheaper and better. I have one bottle left and will wait at least 2 years. However, you won’t be disappointed by popping one now. Cheers

Deep ruby in the glass. A bit tight on the nose, showing mostly primary fruit at the moment. Medium-bodied, but has a lot of grip and power. Not much complexity at this stage, but it will develop into something beautiful for sure.

Strange showing. Immediately after opening it smelled and tasted tired and disjointed, no improvement the next day; I put the bottle away in the fridge for four days and it emerged much better, balanced, a bit of heat, but good stuffing, fruit and some complexity. Not a great Gallina, but certainly an enjoyable one... with ample breathing. Too young still?

Pronounced nose intensity with red raspberry, earth. Medium+ acidity and medium+ tannin.
