Bussia Barolo Nebbiolo 2015

I sold Barolos and Barbarescos from this winery with the first importer I worked for back in the early 80s. It’s been in the decanter about an hour, and though the lightish color shows maturity, some fruit is emerging g to join with the intense mahogany furniture/old library scents. Incense too, along with faded rose petals. Very classic. In the mouth, it’s powerful and somewhat austere. Not a fruity wine. Still a fair amount of tannin present. The austerity and power will pair nicely with the braised oxtails (coda alla vaccinara) that are almost ready. — 15 days ago

The 2015 vintage is showing so well right now.

Simple Solace

Paso Robles Zinfandel Blend

Great blend with bright red berry fruit, supple nose and deep red color. The wine balanced out the spicy jerk chicken and also paired nicely with curry oxtails. Very nice value at $16. — 10 years ago
