The 2006 Barolo Bussia reveals a multitude of balsamic mineral-infused aromas and flavors. Large-scaled and dramatic the Bussia sweeps across the palate showing off tons of pedigree and sheer class. The Bussia is quite a bit more backward than the Le Coste-Mosconi and it will require considerable cellaring but it is a beauty. Flowers spices and minerals waft out of the glass on the sensual ethereal finish. I also tasted the Riserva version of this wine which won't be released for a few years. For now let me just say the 2006 Riserva is shaping up to be another hugely promising important wine from Parusso in this vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2031.-Antonio Galloni
