Note di degustazione
Heady stuff that is quite deep – almost like a mushroom stew. Masses of presence and depth with quite a charge of tannin still. I think the fruit may eventually buckle under the weight of these quite severe tannins. (JR)

Earth, forest floor, slight vegetal tones, dry cherries, spice, slate, dark chocolate. Satisfying acid and tannin balance. Super. (RH)
Monforte d'Alba. Deep ruby, small orange-tinged rim. Roast aromas, notes of cassis liqueur, walnut – very unusual, intriguing. Drying oak tannins at this stage, finish comes in waves. (WS)
The 2006 Barolo Bussia reveals a multitude of balsamic, mineral-infused aromas and flavors. Large-scaled and dramatic, the Bussia sweeps across the palate, showing off tons of pedigree and sheer class. The Bussia is quite a bit more backward than the Le Coste-Mosconi, and it will require considerable cellaring, but it is a beauty. Flowers, spices and minerals waft out of the glass on the sensual, ethereal finish. I also tasted the Riserva version of this wine, which won't be released for a few years. For now, let me just say the 2006 Riserva is shaping up to be an important wine in this vintage.
