Prunotto Barolo Bussia 2021 750ML

Decanter-94

This latest release is progressing beautifully, divulging a little more of its intricacies since I tried it almost a year ago. It offers a heady mélange of alpine blossoms, dusty sage, sweet earth and vanillin. The palate is well endowed with classic Nebbiolo architecture but graciously leaves space for the fruit to expand. Raspberry liqueur is countered by a distinct salinity on the attack. The tannins are taut yet sweet, stretching out to the baking spice finish. Tempting now but should benefit from another year in the bottle.

Aromas of wild rose and culinary spice pervade the glass along with red berry and a balsamic note of camphor after pouring the stunning 2021 Prunotto Bussia. On the delicious, elegantly structured palate, taut, refined tannins support succulent raspberry, Morello cherry, cake spice and blood orange. Fresh acidity keeps it bright and beautifully balanced.

Vinous-95

The 2021 Barolo Bussia is a heady, beguiling wine. Dark fruit, spice, herbs, licorice and balsamic notes open in a mysterious, complex Barolo that reveals myriad shades of nuance over time. Muscular tannins appear on the mid-palate and finish as this deceptively mid-weight Barolo opens with a bit of coaxing. There's a lot of wine here. I can't wait to see how this ages.
