Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo Bussia 2012

Barolo, Italy

Dense and muscular, yet the pieces don't quite fit together. Dark fruit and earth show promise, but the tannins feel raw and the aromatics lack focus. This Bussia has the concentration but misses the elegance that defines great Barolo. Time may help, though the fundamental structure feels off.
