Tasting notes
There is a lot on the nose here: deeply complex spice and intense dark fruit. Quite full bodied on the palate and an intensity and finesse that is hugely impressive. Pin-sharp. And goes on and on. Excellent. Indeed not far off perfect.

Mid intensity of autumn leaves. Really firm, gripping palate but with extraordinary intensity of ripe fruit. Barolo on steroids! Very dry but not drying finish. Intense. (JR)
The 2010 Barolo Bussia is a gorgeous expression that hits all the high notes, both in terms of bouquet and mouthfeel. The nose is redolent of pressed cherries, tar, licorice, crushed granite and chopped mint. It offers the special characteristics that are so forth coming with the Nebbiolo grape. The wine caresses the palate with a fine and enduring sense of freshness and structure. The 2010 vintage is a stunner. Drink: 2016-2028. Importer: Massanois Imports, www.massanois.com
This really elegant and refined with super-fine tannins and a pretty finish. Medium to full body. Fresh finish. Very mineral. Better in 2017
