Tasting notes
Dark garnet in appearance, the 2011 Barolo Bussia Romirasco is an exceptional wine with enormous energy and vigor that comes from deep within its core. It delivers a sense of intensity, clarity and momentum that is rare to find in this warm vintage. It is also a highly complex expression that shows a slow but very interesting evolution in the glass with dark fruit aromas that are fused seamlessly with spice, tarry resin and blue flower. This is a wine with big bones that moves with incredible grace and poise. I would recommend holding the bottle for at least five more years.

The 2011 Barolo Romirasco stands out for its aromatic complexity, one of the key signatures of this great Monforte site. Ample and powerful on the palate, with huge tannins and equally resonant fruit, the 2011 is wonderfully complex from start to finish. Smoke, lavender, spices, savory herbs and a host of balsamic-inflected notes wrap around the imposing finish. This is a gorgeous, beguiling Barolo from Aldo Conterno.
Fabulous intensity and depth of fruit here with plum, spice and hints of vanilla. Full and savory with a long, long finish. Extremely rich too. A great wine from a great vineyard. Better in 2018. James Suckling. April, 2015.
