Note di degustazione
Pale garnet in colour with a very savoury nose, perhaps highlighted by its relative age compared with other samples in the room. Dried rose and cured game are prominent, together with pipe tobacco. Lifted and spicy on the finish, the tannins are prominent and cut the fruit slightly short. (TP)

In a bottle with the gold label, the 2014 Barolo Riserva Bussia Vigna Munie comes from an area with rolling hills and vineyards spaced tightly together. This wine has a heavier and more mature bouquet with aromas of baked fruit and toasted spice. It has aged faster than the other Riserva made by the Parusso family from this same vintage, the Barolo Riserva Bussia Vigna Rocche. That wine felt fresher. This bottle is just a little ahead in its aging trajectory. The Bussia Vigna Munie is open-knit and ready to drink. This wine is sold exclusively through Bordeaux négociants and only 2,400 bottles exist.
The 2014 Barolo Riserva Bussia Vigna Munie is more delicate in feel than the Rocche, but also heavily marked by oak. Bright dark red fruit, iron and dried flowers give the 2014 an attractive sense of freshness. Whether because of the growing season and/or the oak, the 2014 comes across as a bit compact. Historically, the Parusso Riservas have mostly aged quite well, but I would not take too many chances here.
