Prunotto, Barolo Bussia other_regions_australia This was the first time

This was the first time I had tasted Ipsus

(from a mix of vines that average 60+ years of age

Stunning levels of depth

This is at once seductive and classy and should also drink reasonably well young but reward up to a decade of cellaring

which comes from the oldest vines on the estate (34- to 90-year-old vines)

Prunotto, Barolo Bussia other_regions_australia This was the first timeVery dark ruby red. Intense blackberry, plum and Indian spices. Full bodied, with superripe, powerful tannins and a long, long finish. Balanced, refined and beautifully textured. Better than I remember. Impressive. 1997 Italian blind retrospective. Best after 2009. 1,500 cases made. JS
