Just amazing. This grand version combine the spicy, peppery edge of CF with the generous, oriental spice and ripe plum additions associated with Merlot. Perfectly judged oak and chalky minerality linger on the intense finish. Thru 2030. 97 points. — 11 years ago

Tar and dried rose petal with dried red cherry exotic Oriental spice and truffle really opened up after an hour in the glass. Still a bit tannic with pretty nuance and spice very fresh needs another 10 years tar and truffle notes the essence of ginestra. Finish 50+ most excellent — 12 years ago

Bussia Cicala Barolo Nebbiolo 2010

As good as Nebbiolo gets, showcasing a potpourri of fruit, flowers, chalky minerals, oriental spice additions and fantastic tannins and juicy acidity. Sophisticated and powerful at the same time. I could drink this on a daily basis. — 11 years ago
