Note di degustazione
This cru tends to have very rich tannins. The fruit tastes a little simple at this stage with a pinched finish. Needs time. Marked acidity. (JR)

The 2008 Barolo Bussia is a little richer and denser than the normal bottling. It too, possesses lovely sweetness in a medium-bodied style that is quite appealing. Hints of tobacco, leather, anise and wild herbs flow through to the expressive finish. The Bussia has begun to close down in bottle as the tannins are bigger and more evident than they have been in earlier tastings. Hints of crushed flowers and mint linger on the perfumed finish.

Anticipated maturity: 2015-2023. This is a terrific set of new releases from Prunotto. In particular, this year I was impressed with the quality and consistency of the entry-level offerings.

Monforte d’Alba. Pale orange-tinged ruby. Leather note masks the fruit on the nose. Pretty lightness on the palate with sweet strawberry fruit. Just enough acidity and savoury coating tannin. Pretty. (WS)
