Tasting Notes

The 2010 Barolo Bussia is a bright and cherry-driven expression of Nebbiolo. The wine shows some distant sweetness with Morello cherry blackberry and prune in center stage. It feels a little ripe with some raisin in there as well. You also get exotic spice and barbecue smoke. The wine shows fine tannins and good length on the finish.

Good dark red. Distinctly darker on the nose than the Villero, offering scents of medicinal black fruits and licorice. Juicy, tightly wound and youthfully imploded, showing limited fruit and personality today. Much more tannic, too: does this have the mid-palate fruit to evolve gracefully? This may be in an awkward post-bottling stage today.

I bought this years ago and completely forgot about it. And that was a good thing because it is just edging slowly towards its peak. Dark ruby with bright orange tinges. A nose that is complex and layered with marasca cherry, hints of vermouth, blood orange, morocco leather and, deep down, notes of dark earth and damson. Suave, polished fruit that still hasn’t shaken all of its youth. Fine gravelly tannins but playing second fiddle to the fruit. Fantastic balance and length. Not at its peak yet! (WS)
