96 points Raffaele Vecchione (WinesCritic.com): "Intriguing thanks to its varied bouquet that delivers quality from the first sip. It is composed of sour cherries, blood orange juice, candied fruit, ginger, and a hint of minerality. Full-bodied, with perfectly ripe, velvety tannins and a finish that perfectly balances horizontal and vertical dimensions. Delicious now and almost irresistible, it will be at its best after 2021. (Jan 2020)"
94 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2015 Barolo Bussia is a wine of power, density and gravitas, all of which come through in its decidedly vertical feel and rather somber expression. A whole range of balsamic-infused notes wrap around a core of dark fruit as this potent Barolo shows off its distinctive personality. The 2015 needs time to be at its best, but it is unquestionably impressive, even in the very early going. Drinking Window: 2022-2040. (Nov 2019)"
93 points James Suckling: "Dried roses and fragrant spices, anise and fennel seed in particular, leading to blood orange and pomegranate. The palate has a very sleek core of fine but ripe tannins that carry red-berry flavors in smooth repose. Drink or hold. (11/7/19)"
92 points Wine Enthusiast: "Cedar, rose, botanical herb and forest floor aromas swirl around the glass. It's youthfully austere, offering pomegranate, sour cherry, orange zest and baking spice notes alongside tight, close-grained tannins and fresh acidity. Give it a few more years to unwind and fully develop. Drink 2023–2030. Alcohol 14.5%. (Dec 2019)"
92 points Wine & Spirits: "[$85 list] A selection from vines that are up to 40 years old, and macerated for 40 days, this is dark and tannic, the flavors of fresh cherry, lavender and rosemary darkening toward tar and tobacco. Give this time in the cellar. (Dec 2019)"
