Bussia Barolo Nebbiolo

Paid $30 and it never really grew into its own

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

Fruity and austere young barolo!!

Much liked. Eloquent dark fruit edged in cigar box. Flavors of currant, dried blue berry with well integrated tannins that carried the wine to a nice lingering finish.

V12. Pretty good. Clean soft tobacco and herb nose. Bright, fresh red and black cherry fruits. Dry, tight medium body. Black pepper, herb and earth finish. Nicely balanced.

I really enjoy this Barolo. Nice cherry fruit, easy on the nose and pallet. Very drinkable and enjoyable

Bursts of cherries. Very bright acidity but great tannins and balance. Drinking well already.

Am worried about this one developing—very tight and not much structure left 24 hours later. Good but am gonna bury the rest of these for a couple of years.
