Description
2009 Prunotto Barolo Bussia
Intensely garnet red in color with ruby highlights, this wine shows aromas of very ripe berry and cherry fruit with underlying floral and spice notes. Powerful flavors with supple, ample tannins fill the palate. The wine possesses a pleasingly long finish with notes reminiscent of those felt on the nose.
Its full body and significant structure make it an ideal match for meat, game, and cheese.
Critical Acclaim
96 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
From one of the most celebrated vineyards in Monforte d’Alba, the 2009 Barolo Bussia shows a tad more color and concentration upon first inspection. As expected, it also follows through with bigger aromas of dried cherry, spice and dark licorice, but nothing is out of place. It never abandons its promise of understated elegance. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2028.
94 James Suckling
This smells like top Burgundy with light earth, flowers and berries. Full body, with ultra-fine tannins and a beautiful palate of subtle yet intense fruits and a long, long finish. Wonderful finish. Best ever from here?
91 Wine Enthusiast
This single-vineyard Barolo shows ripe berry aromas and whiffs of incense and espresso. The palate shows almost overripe cherry fruit, layered with herbs, coffee and underbrush notes. It has big but ripe tannins and is fast approaching optimum drinkability.
