Note di degustazione
The 2014 Barolo Bussia is attractive, if a touch light in body and overall structure. Then again, that is 2014. Mint, pine, herbs, licorice and dried flowers give the 2014 an attractive upper register, but there is no escaping the wine's light structure and modest overall depth.

Unlike the other single vineyard-releases from the Fenocchio family this year, the 2014 Barolo Bussia delivers a deeper sense of structure and firmness. The bouquet is also bolder and more opulent with dark fruit aromas backed by spice, tar and autumnal leaf. This wine offers a velvety thick but smooth texture on the palate. It ages in large Slavonian oak for three years.
Just mid ruby. Lots of minerals and iron on the nose and hints of orange skin. Gently perfumed cherry palate and then firm tannins that do not overwhelm the fruit. Racy and lots of tension and firmly structured, even a little drying but the finish is juicy. Quite powerful and needs much more time to settle. Lots of depth on the finish, persistent fruit and richly tannic. Elegance is key here, but this needs much more time. (WS)
