Score 18/20 · Drink 2006-2015, Jancis Robinson MW, Jan 2002

Monforte d'Alba. Very deep colour and one of the few wines to have a truly knockout classic Barolo nose. Dense and deep with massive tannic charge. Very impressive. Chewy and long term and no compromises. (JR)

Score 94/100 · Drink 2001-2017, Robert Parker, Jun 2001

The profound 1997 Barolo Bussia boasts intense aromas of molasses, cherry liqueur, melted tar, licorice, and toast. Dense and full-bodied, with enormous quantities of glycerin and fat, this hedonistic, thick, viscous Barolo can be drunk now and over the next 15-16 years. A Leonardo Locascio Selection, Winebow, Hohokus, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620
