The 2016 Barolo Bussia Vigna Rocche Riserva is a powerful, tannic wine. Macerated cherry, blood orange, cinnamon, new leather, cedar and menthol gradually unfold in the glass. A potent, brooding Barolo, the 2016 is explosive right out of the gate. Black cherry, incense, leather, mocha, tobacco and grilled herbs all meld together seamlessly. This virile Riserva will drink well for many years to come. It's loaded with bright mineral, floral and exotic spice notes, all qualities that make wines from this part of Barolo so intriguing. There's plenty of tannin to go along with all of that as well. (AG)
