I really like the delicate mouthfeel of this Bussia. Definitely in the lighter side, so appealing to my burgundy predilection. Not to say there aren’t some serious flavors here. A touch of menthol and wilted rose. Elegant and easy.

This is decidedly a midweight barolo form an cooler year. Nose is shy displaying red berries, some faint smoke and mineral sensations. On palate it has plenty of acidity, fine if bit dry tannins and plenty of tart cherry, red currant and some licorice. After 6h it picks up bit of the much needed midpalate depth and rounder fruit. Not sure if the fruit will outlive the time needed to soften the acidity and tannins. For those in favor of uptoned Nebbiolo with firm structure

This is value priced...and it’s interesting. First day sipping is crunchy and complex, barely hinting at a Barolo. Wasn’t tight with tannins. Second day was much better. Maybe it will age gracefully; I have a few bottles I’m going to hide away for a few more years
