One of the greats showing beautifully. — 3 months ago
1995 Bussia Barolo.
Still holding a deep red core with a bit of fading at the rim…impressive.
Dried Bing cherries, dried roses and flowers on the nose.
Dried red fruit, cherries and plums with mint and mushrooms.
Tannins are disappearing but the acidity is still so smooth.
A friend foraged for local Matsutake mushrooms and we made risotto with black summer truffles. — 4 months ago
Rich red in color with medium plus intensity.
Fruit forward on the nose with red fruits and light oak.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing red cherries, raspberries, herbs, coffee, light oak, chocolates and peppercorn.
Nice finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 7 year old Barolo is already drinking very nicely, but still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly.
Spicy and entertaining. Easy drinking and engaging. Elegant with good structure.
Nicely balanced and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime.
100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged in large oak barrels for 3 years.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
