The 1994 Barolo Bricotto Bussia exhibits a deep plum/ruby color with no lightening at the edge. The wine is a full-bodied example of the vintage, with copious quantities of jammy cherry fruit intertwined with new saddle leather, soy, cedar, and asphalt notes. Sultry and layered, with hedonistic levels of glycerin and fruit, this evolved yet luscious Barolo can be drunk now as well as over the next 3-5 years.A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel.

The splendidly ripe, rich 1990 Barolo Bricotto Bussia reveals great fruit, superb purity, and an intense, exotic, spicy, cherry, perfumed personality. The finish goes on and on in this full-bodied, super-intense, velvety-textured, spectacularly concentrated, low acid wine. Drink this awesome Barolo over the next two decades.Clerico's performance in 1990 further establishes him as one of Piedmont's superstars. Unfortunately, only microscopic quantities of these wines are available.Importer: a Marc de Grazia Selection, Michael Skurnick Wines, Westbury, NY.

Clerico's 1989 Barolo Bricotto Bussia has an unrivaled, pure, sweet cherry-like bouquet. The spectacular perfume is followed by an opulent, unctuously textured, thick, rich Barolo that is bursting with fruit and personality. Its low acidity, high alcohol, and glycerin all make for a hedonistic mouthful of wine. Drink it over the next 15-20 years.Importer: a Marc de Grazia Selection, Michael Skurnick Wines, Westbury, NY.

The 1988 Barolo-Bussia is closed. With airing, aromas of game-like smoked meat, tar, and dusty fruit emerge. There is excellent richness, a beautiful black cherry fruitiness, and an elegant, pure, stylish finish. This is not blockbuster Barolo, but a medium weight wine. It should drink well for 12-15 years.
