As someone else noted, a rare bottle of a super rare red grape from Burgundy called “Cesar” (10 hectares in the world) — very dark color, rich, dark fruits, some noticeable structure, this needs 3-5 years aging to settle down, a great “stump your wine friends” wine!! — a year ago
Slightly sweet bit crisp with low acidity. Went well with red snapper and a heavy Cesar salad. — 2 years ago

Nose: dense lilacs. Blackberries.
Palate: sweet blackberry. A bit tannic. Very Elegant

Popped and poured, decanted for 90 minutes and then enjoyed over the next several hours. The 2019 Cesar Bussolo Barbera d’Alba “Vigna Santa Lucia” pours a bright ruby color with a near opaque core. Medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is redolent of berry fruit: blackberries, blueberries, and brambles along with fresh basil, black licorice, sarsaparilla, dry earth, and some spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes on the nose with savory minerals in the long finish. Based on this experience and the fact that this hardly budged as the hours rolled by, it gives me the impression that this has a very long life ahead. Try again after 2025 and enjoy through 2035. — a year ago
Very light in color and taste. Very Pleasant. The sip evaporates but the finish lingers Smells like a Napa wine on the nose. I can’t pick out a note I am not experienced enough. The more I sip it the more I like it. — 2 years ago
The tartness and flavorfulness made this a great wine with out Cesar dinner — 5 months ago
Red fruit in the nose with raspberries, cherries, anise, vanilla and leather in the palate. Went very well with a 3 cheese flat bread and a spinach-kale Cesar salad. — a year ago
