After all these releases from 2017, it's nice to travel a few more years back in time. The Giacomo Fenocchio 2015 Barolo Riserva Bussia 90 dì reveals a bright ruby color with good vitality and energy. Aromas of dried cherry, cassis and sweet plum lift from the bouquet, towing along delicate tones of crushed stone and dried licorice root. It feels like the wine could give more of itself, but like so many, it's probably just a question of giving it more time to age. This was a release of approximately 4,000 bottles.

This is the top-shelf wine from Giacomo Fenocchio. The 2013 Barolo Riserva Bussia 90 dì delivers a sultry and rich bouquet. Aromas of dark fruit and dried cherry are folded into spice, tobacco and tarry earth. Like the other expressions from this producer, this Barolo veers toward black fruit (as opposed to red fruit energy) with a concentrated and heavy impression on the palate. The wine is almost ready to drink out of the gate, or you could age it longer.

The 2012 Barolo Riserva Bussia 90 dì is a mid-weight expression of Barolo with aromas that are just beginning to veer toward tertiary or aged characteristics. This warm vintage delivers aromas of dried cherry, cassis, tar and toasted anise seed. This wine was fermented in stainless steel but saw very long skin maceration times (90 days). It later ages in large Slavonian oak for four years. Only 3,000 bottles were made.

This is a one-off bottling. The 2010 Barolo Riserva Bussia 90 dì is a special wine that brings us back to one of the best vintages in recent years. It shows seamless intensity and a dark, brooding personality. There is lots of meat on these bones. Dark cherry, blackberry, pressed rose, tar and dark smoke compete for your attention. Perfumed floral notes appear on the close.

The 2009 Barolo Riserva Bussia is an attractive and shapely wine that opens to a pretty garnet color and graceful aromas of wild berry, dried blueberry, spice and powdered chocolate. The bouquet is fragrant and feminine with combined floral and red fruit intensity. Its texture is soft and opulent with enduring sweet cherry flavors that awaken the palate.
