I really like the delicate mouthfeel of this Bussia. Definitely in the lighter side, so appealing to my burgundy predilection. Not to say there aren’t some serious flavors here. A touch of menthol and wilted rose. Elegant and easy.

Look: transclucent red almost like a pinot noir. Legs are fat and wide and falling down pretty quickly.
Smell: a lot of dried cherries, some oak, chocolate and vanilla in the background. Fruit noticed subside after wine breathed for 30mins, giving way to a heavier vanilla flavour but cherries still very prominent in the foreground.
Taste: very acidic on first taste and a lot of tannins. After 30 mins, wine is a lot less acidic with dried cherries flavour in the foreground slowly giving way to a oaky/chocolaty flavour in the mouth finish ling off with a slight vanilla aftertaste. Soft rounded tannis overall and very easy to drink.
