WTN: Prunotto Barolo Bussia 1993

WTN:Barolo Bussia Prunotto 1993

Brick red with brownish hints at the rim.

The nose needs several minutes to open up in the glass starting with plenty of aged oak bouquet and developing into a beautifully balanced black and red cherry aroma, tobacco, nutmeg, sour forest berries and a mildly dusty aroma hovering this very deep wine.

Very impressive on the entry, mouth filling and tasty . Plenty of soft tannins compliment the dry and sour fruits with a smooth long finish.

No need to hurry up and drink the wine but currently a very enjoyable medium to full bodied Barolo that cries for a good preferably rare aged fillet.

Tasted February 4, 2004.

...aaahh - a wine from the time before global warming hit Alba. Classic nebbiolo.
