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

Works best with heavy bolognese and trofie. Sour cherry and mineral on the palate. — 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
Takes 2 hours to open up but then cherry and soft tannins. — 6 years ago

Couldn’t be more classic. Fair warning though: Even after 17 years, could use more time. 6 hour decant and still a bit hot and tannic. Great with a rich lamb ragu though — 7 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
This was a great Barolo! We drank two bottles at our table. Ordered the second after finishing the first instead of trying something else. — 7 years ago

A nice simple Barolo not complex but not too fruity. A perfect pairing with a meal but not one I'd want to savor on its own. Could probably sit for a few years. — 9 years ago
2003 vintage. Once you get past the booziness of the vintage there is some really good juice underneath. — 10 years ago
A lovely, mature, but in no way heading over the hill, Barolo. — 11 years ago
