Monforte. Mid ruby with broad orange rim. Smoky bacon and camphor. Very mellow and round, lacks the real Nebbiolo tension and bite. (WS)

The 2008 Barolo Bussia Dardi/Le Rose is quite pretty and delicate, if a touch understated in this vintage. Dark red cherries, plums, spices, licorice and menthol are all woven together gracefully. The 2008 emphasizes elegance and finesse. This is a wine that typically ages well, so it will be interesting to see what the next few years bring in the way of evolution.
