Prunotto Barolo Bussia DOCG Italy 2005
(Wine Advocate Score 93+) The 2005 Barolo Bussia is a gorgeous, ripe wine layered with scents of menthol, spices and minerals that complement a generous core of fruit. The French oak is beautifully integrated and the wine possesses exceptional overall balance, with a round, harmonious finish. This is a highly promising Barolo from Prunotto. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030.
Prunotto is one of the most prestigious names for Barolo. For years, Prunotto is one of the quality leaders and was the first one to introduce the concept of single cru Barolo. Prunotto's Barolo has always been one of the pillars of classic Barolo. An intense garnet red in color with ruby highlights and with aromas of very ripe berry and cherry fruit combined with floral and spicy notes. Powerful flavors with supple and ample tannins and a long finish and aftertaste. Its full body and significant structure make it an ideal match for meat, game, and cheese.
