Score 88/100 · Drink 2000-2012, Robert Parker, Aug 2000
The 1996 Barolo Bussia reveals tell-tale aromas of cedar wood, tobacco, and dried herbs, along with earthy black cherry fruit notes. A supple texture, admirable concentration, medium body, and noticeable tannin in the finish result in an overall impression of a sweet, precocious, up-front Barolo to enjoy over the next 10-12 years.

Full red. High-toned aromas of redcurrant, plum, leather, smoke, tobacco and underbrush. A wine of modest ripeness, with licorice and herbal notes currently overshadowing its red fruit flavors. Finishes with slightly drying tannins and a hint of sourness.
