Tasting notes
Monforte d'Alba. Very deep colour and one of the few wines to have a truly knockout classic Barolo nose. Dense and deep with massive tannic charge. Very impressive. Chewy and long term and no compromises. (JR)

The profound 1997 Barolo Bussia boasts intense aromas of molasses, cherry liqueur, melted tar, licorice, and toast. Dense and full-bodied, with enormous quantities of glycerin and fat, this hedonistic, thick, viscous Barolo can be drunk now and over the next 15-16 years.
