"This is almost a different wine, one that borders on emotion, one of the best Granbussias of the last 20 years. The color is brighter than the 1997 and its strong points are its austerity and elegance. Initially the aroma is of medicinal herbs and crushed rose, together with wonderful scents of chamomile and thyme. It becomes sumptuous with breathing as traces of medlar and ginger emerge in a balsamic framework. The palate is quite severe - stiff - a true country gentleman in a double-breasted suit. Its drinkability makes it irresistible and my suggestion is to drink it alone in order to experience it in full. Magnificent." Daniele Cernilli, DoctorWine.it, Jan 2013 |
