Score 92/100 · Drink 2002-2020, Robert Parker, Feb 2000

Prunotto's 1996 Barolo Bussia is a spectacular, full-bodied, rich wine displaying scents of rose petals, tobacco, black fruits, cedar, and toasty French oak. Ripe, moderately tannic, dense, and chewy, it requires 2-3 years of cellaring, and should evolve easily for 15-20 years. Importer: Remy Amerique, New York, NY; tel. (212) 399-0200
