Riserva Speciale Granbussia Barolo Nebbiolo 1970

At age 55 it’s a bit faded. A little tired. But has an elegance and a weightless quality to it. Fruit not vivid but very much alive. Well balanced. This Granbussia, according to the label, was from Bricco Colonello fruit. Lovely. — 3 days ago

I have been at the winery. The wines are great. Yet the winery was so clean and the wine tech. so shiny, temp. controlled and advanced that I missed the old Italian way and authenticity of the smaller producers (with less money/funding) like Silvio Giamello.

Interesting, thanks. In all my visits to the Langhe I’ve never stopped at Cortese.

Beautiful fruit. Dense dark plum color huge berry profile on the nose. Sweet, clear dark berry fruit in the mouth, some herbal notes. Needs a notch more tannin. But. Nice wine. — 5 days ago

Fabulous Barolo. Classic profile. At peak or close. Opened Friday but couldn’t return to it until today. So much improved. Beautiful tannins, tobacco, wood smoke, herbs and iron notes. Terrific. — 2 months ago
