Description
92RP. Intensely garnet red in color with ruby highlights, this wine shows aromas of very ripe berry and cherry fruit with underlying floral and spice notes. Powerful flavors with supple, ample tannins fill the palate. The wine possesses a pleasingly long finish with notes reminiscent of those felt on the nose. Its full body and significant structure make it an ideal match for meat, game, and cheese. The 2008 Barolo Bussia is a little richer and denser than the normal bottling. It too, possesses lovely sweetness in a medium-bodied style that is quite appealing. Hints of tobacco, leather, anise and wild herbs flow through to the expressive finish. The Bussia has begun to close down in bottle as the tannins are bigger and more evident than they have been in earlier tastings. Hints of crushed flowers and mint linger on the perfumed finish. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2023.
