This one had good bones but the slightest hint of vinegar on both the nose and palate - and the telltale orange rim in the glass. Drinkable but maybe just OTH and couldn’t measure up to the previous reds — 20 hours ago

Richly decadent. Mature powerful cherry notes layered on lengthy earthy base. This is prime right now. Like a cresting wave catching it at the peak time. — 7 months ago

A wonderful surprise. My expectations had been low for this 63 year old wine but it is lovely. Rich fruit with a nicely balanced acid backbone to give it some lift and vibrancy. A short finish, not surprising since the tannins have long since resolved. But the fruit is quite something after all this time. Nice. — a year ago

At age 55 it’s a bit faded. A little tired. But has an elegance and a weightless quality to it. Fruit not vivid but very much alive. Well balanced. This Granbussia, according to the label, was from Bricco Colonello fruit. Lovely. — 8 days ago

Weighty and deep. Dark colored. Mature to the point of being a bit too aged. Tannins were mellowed but it just seemed like a less lively bottle this time around. — a month ago

Among some wonderful 2008 Barolos, this Cicala was a standout. Excellent length and complexity. — 2 months ago
