Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo Riserva Bussia 90 Dì 2011

Barolo, Italy

Harsh, drying tannins grip the wine from the start, leaving it tight and joyless on the palate. Roasted, oxidative notes intrude where fruit should be, and there's little beneath them to hold interest. A disappointing effort from a producer capable of much better.
