Aldo Conterno Barolo Riserva Granbussia 2008

Barolo, Italy

Clumsy and overextracted, this Granbussia shows none of its usual grace. Cooked fruit dominates alongside heavy-handed oak treatment that masks any sense of terroir. The mid-palate falls apart completely, leaving a disjointed wine that bears little resemblance to this storied bottling's typical refinement and complexity.
