Parusso Bussia Barolo 2009

The 2009 Barolo Bussia is rich, explosive and full-bodied. A powerful, structured wine, the 2009 is remarkably backward and inexpressive at this stage. With time in the glass, layers [of] fruit gradually uncoil, revealing wine of considerable pedigree and pure class. At times the 2009 is quite powerful, but occasionally a more feminine side of its personality emerges. Sweet notes of freshly cut flowers, menthol and cloves ring out on the expressive, resonant finish. The 2009 has serious structure, power and depth. Parusso crafts the Bussia from Rocche, Munie and Fiurin, all parcels within Bussia. Drinking window: 2017-2029. Score - 95. (Antonio Galloni, vinousmedia.com, Nov. 30, 2013)
