Dark and spicy, ripe cherries, mint and liquorice, dried roses, blond tobacco. A more powerful expression, lots of liquorice flavour, richness but also freshness, with an ironstone quality to tannin, and a ‘mineral’ feel to acidity. Such fine balance throughout, with a finish of outstanding length. A beautiful Bussia, so distinctive and delightful. 96 points. Gary Walsh, The Winefront.
