Big, masculine Barolo. Drinking well but more nuance will come with age. Literally garage wine. From vines in Bussia to the garage in Monforte. — 2 years ago
Little past prime. Raisin ish. Still enjoyed — 4 years ago
My fondness for Silla Sebaste grows with each glass. This is my first Bussia from this producer and it’s approachable on opening and opens up even more over several hours. Pronounced floral and cherry nose. Mouth watering cherry and other dark fruits, spices, and add a little smoke and leather from front to mid palate. The moderate lingering tannins start to take over late palate and dry the mouth through the finish. Wonderful experience with a lot going on. — 4 years ago
Takes 2 hours to open up but then cherry and soft tannins. — 6 years ago

Magnum. Single vineyard from the Bussia Cru of Monforte d’Alba.
This is so much different than the Brandini single vineyard from La Morra. Much more powerful with still firm tannic structure. Shows more dark fruits, with fig jam, leather, cedar and licorice.
Need more time in the bottle. — 2 years ago
Drinking the 2007 in 2022. Wow, wonderful wine. Deep plum color. Big nose rich with leather and oak. Smooth as velvet on the pallet. Wonderfully rich with hints of earth and plum. Loved it!!! — 3 years ago
Very good. Smooth taste, no bitter aftertaste. — 4 years ago
Meal at Terra Plata, really nice and smooth — 4 years ago
Wow yes this is the kind of young Barolo I want to be drinking. Wish I had a lot more of this! So juicy and fun while having plenty of the classic Barolo notes to go along with any and all the Italian fare I could throw at it. — 5 years ago

Reddish in color with medium intensity.
Strong fruity nose and medium in body, with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, currants, light wood, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, chocolates and earth.
Medium finish with grippy tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a very young Barolo from Piedmont. Elegant and powerful.
This Single Vineyard Nebbiolo is already drinking very nicely, and better with food.
A good quality wine that will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.
100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged in large oak barrels for 32 months.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
91 points.

Tasted over 3 days with a view to buying for the cellar. So closed its hard to tell what wine is in there! Very muscular. Not much to enjoy today. — 3 years ago
Works best with heavy bolognese and trofie. Sour cherry and mineral on the palate. — 4 years ago
Nose is aromatic and ripe with a hint of stewed tomato to start off. Mid season cherry and really bright. Wish that overripe tomato was not there. It slowly blows off but on PNP it is prominent. Cherry flower. Tar. Spice. Nice nose. Not great. Palate is ripe and juicy but slightly broad with good balance, purity and freshness. Big tannins that I associate with Bussia. Good power and depth. No finesse. Solid not special. Maybe air helps?
UPDATE/ Air did help.this. 9.0 to 9.3. More silkiness and clearly defined fruit. — 5 years ago
