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

Low tannin, medium acid, and a medium-, but smooth and round, mouthfeel made this effortless to drink. Aromas and flavors of cherry, cherry, and every kind of cherry I’ve ever encountered. Simple in the best way, but sort of irresistible too. — 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. — 6 years ago

Succulent and bursting. Strong cherry, tar and grounded beautifully. The juice that powered the afternoon Boggle game. — 8 months ago

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

Lovely fully mature Barolo. The 85s are often on the decline, and this one may not be at peak, but wonderful balance, clear fruit, with a shorter finish than I recall from earlier bottles. 1 of 3 from a very nice dinner last night. — 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

2013 vintage. Opened and decanted. Tasted after 30 mins and one hour. Medium body. Big concentration. Drinking nicely now but could use another half-decade of intregration to really start stretching out and revealing those Barolo secrets. 11.01.24. — 10 months 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

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. — 5 years ago

Strong and a bit funky. Sour cherries and a faint aroma of anise. Fairly heavy on tannin. Leather and oak on finish. — 6 years ago

This is great. Intense fruit, dark and plummy with roses, violets, a hint of cola, blueberry. Great complexity and flavor and approachable for such a young riserva. — 7 years ago
