Score 91/100 · Drink 2002-2017, Robert Parker, Jun 2001
The dark ruby-colored 1997 Barolo Bussia Vigna Munie displays a Chateauneuf du Pape-like character in its combination of kirsch liqueur and roasted Provencal herbs. It is an expansive, chewy, structured effort with wonderful intensity as well as the vintage's tell-tale overripeness and excessive exoticism. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2017.
