Expert Reviews

93 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2004

Dense, chewy and sappy, with superb inner-mouth energy and floral character. Conveys a strong impression of soil tones. The longest of these 2000s, finishing impressively chewy, firmly tannic and palate-staining. Transcends the vintage. These vines were picked earlier than those used to make the basic Bussia Soprana wine.
