Bussia Barolo Nebbiolo

Richer style, loaded with cassis and darker fruits and sandalwood. One thing you are tasting: French Oak. Ghisolfi appears to be a hybrid producer, some modern wines, some more traditional with less oak influence from Slavonian oak bottis. 14.76 % ABV from tech sheet. This a big boy Barolo, but can probably can be consumed early. Costco deal.

this may not go 20 more years, but good Lord it's drinking super soft right now. super bright with warm red fruit and a touch rose petal. fun bottle

Clearly not ready yet, but everything is here.

Opened for 3 hours.. Needs another 5 years. Big strapping young lad, dressed in a cedar suit with a blackberry tie. Black raspberry hanky. A smart dresser for sure..

So Italian. Earth, funk, fruit playing in the sandbox. VA out to the sticking point. Hints of roses.

No notes. I just remember being underwhelmed. At the bottom of the list of wines at the table when it came to quality.

Tar and roses, mineral goodness. Great value.

My goodness what a mystical wine. Everything going on here. Earth, wind and fire! Dark fruit, cigar box, completely integrated, fine polished tannins. Nice barnyardy edge. Excellent!

Red fruit and leather.

Reticent nose. Cherry fruit. Notes of herbal menthol/eucalyptus. Sous bois. Somewhat drying and firm tannins. Solid Barolo.
