Score 95/100 · Drink 2025-2040, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Jan 2025

Distinguished by its black label, the Prunotto 2018 Barolo Riserva Bussia Vigna Colonnello is made just like all the other wines in this portfolio (with fermentation in steel tank and oak aging), but this bottle stands apart thanks to its vintage. The 2018 growing season saw uneven results when first released to market, but it has been reevaluated since, with some truly beautiful wines making their mark today. This wine is elegantly tempered by age with spice and licorice, but it also shows bright cherry and blood orange that underline healthy fruit. It finishes on a fine and silky note, with a hint of sweetness too. This is a 5,954-bottle release.

The 2018 Barolo Riserva Bussia Vigna Colonnello is one of the finer vintages of this wine I have tasted. Whole clusters add gorgeous aromatic dimension without dominating the wine, either from a flavor or textural standpoint. Orange peel, cinnamon, mint, new leather, cedar and hard candy open nicely to round out this complex, sensual Barolo from Prunotto.
