Armando Parusso - Barolo Bussia 2013 (Pre-arrival) (750ml)
This item is available for pre-arrival.
James Suckling: 97 Points
This is one of the greatest wines I have ever had from here. So much ripe cherry, raspberry and floral character. Medium body, super-refined tannins and a long and flavorful finish. So much going on here.
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
The 2013 Barolo Bussia is my favorite wine among Marco Parusso's new releases. This wine shows an extraordinary level of richness and softness that speaks to the unique winemaking style proposed by this innovative producer. The Bussia cru tends to produce softer and finer fruit characteristics. The bouquet delivers elegant notes of wild berry, forest floor and white truffle with mineral notes such as pencil shaving delicately tucked in at the back. The wine sees up to 60% stem inclusion and maceration times are long. This Barolo is articulate and profoundly expressive.
Vinous: 94 Points
Another super-expressive wine, the 2013 Barolo Bussia is full of personality. Like all of these 2013s, the Bussia needs time to shed some baby fat. Today, the interplay of lifted aromatics and textured, layered fruit is compelling. Even with all of itys richness, the 2013 stays light on its feet.
Wine Enthusiast: 91 Points
Exotic spice, vanilla, dark-skinned fruit and French oak aromas lift out of the glass. The palate shows toasted oak, coconut, espresso raspberry and cherry alongside tight close-grained tannins that grip the austere finish. It's still on its oak so give it time to come around.
Wine Spectator: 90 Points
A ripe, savory style, boasting macerated cherry, juniper, sanguine and tar flavors. This is dominated by beefy tannins now, but the finish is vibrant, with a pleasant astringency.
