Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo Riserva Bussia 90 Dì 2012

Sweet tobacco, dried cherry, aged leather and a dusting of forest floor, the 2012 Bussia 90 Dì reads like a wine already settling into its mature phase. Mid-weight in body with good textural depth, the tannins are supple and the fruit carries a dried, autumnal quality that signals an accelerated arc. Drink it over the next several years while that plateau holds; there's little to gain from extended cellaring.
