Prunotto Vigna Colonnello Bussia Riserva Barolo 2010

This is the top-shelf wine from Prunotto and is a wine that has only recently started production. The 2010 Barolo Riserva Bussia Vigna Colonnello offers grit and power, and a sense of profound density and depth that you do not get from the other wines among this collection of new releases. Of course, the excellent 2010 vintage makes the difference and gives this expression that competitive advantage. It offers a smooth and silky finish with flavors of wild berry, crushed mineral, violets and licorice on the long finish. It needs another ten years to flesh out further. Score - 93.
