Barolo, Bussia di Monforte, Riserva Speciale--Vintage 1978
Piedmont, Bruno Giacosa
Levels: bottom neck or better; slightly bin soiled labels
"This 1978 is nothing short of spectacular in its profoundness. Although the nose shows some evolved notes such as tobacco, there is still plenty of sweet, perfumed fruit, which blossoms on the palate, with incredible persistence, and a lingering note of menthol to round out the exquisite finish. Like the 1978 Monfortino that would follow, the 1978 Bussia appears magically young, although it is a decidedly more delicate and medium-bodied wine. Though fully mature, this shows no signs of fading. Pure magic in a bottle." Antonio Galloni, Italy Report (Apr 2007)
