Luigi Einaudi, Barolo Bussia 2015
Description
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Monica Larner
The 2015 Barolo Bussia spreads out nice layers of dark fruit, with black cherry, plum and blackberry on a broad-shouldered wine. There is significant texture here with sweet, chewy tannins. This is a succulent Barolo, aged in neutral barrique. You could cellar it and see where it goes over the next few years, or open it in a few years with a medium rare steak. The Bussia cru shows density and structure.

Extremely perfumed with aromas of roses and berries. Hints of cedar and dried flowers. Medium body, tight and concentrated center palate with a vivid and lively finish. Silky texture. Drink now or hold.
