  January 5, 2024 - Ordered with dinner at a restaurant last night.. paid $120. Was a wonderful pair with my wife’s lobster spicy dish and my short ribs. A great dinner at Marcellos in Sarasota.

  October 29, 2020 - Moderate garnet in color. Dry cherry flavors. A little rough at this time.

  October 23, 2020 - Another modern style Barolo that is very much on the red fruit side, and not on the traditional tar/roses dark fruit side. I've said before that modern style Barolo is starting to taste like a more highly extracted version of Valtellina. I drank a bottle of what I think of as at or near the top in Valtellina, a 2010 Marsetti Grumello, about a month ago. This Prunotto Bussia could I think pass for a select cuvee of a Marsetti Grumello.

  May 14, 2019 - Enter Prunotto. This is where things started heating up (and we had two more wines to go). A colab between Marchese Antinori and the Colla brothers (two gentlemen pledged to introduce single vineyard Barolo to consumers).
  
  This is a wine not made to destroy your palate with its might, but to polish it with its finesse. Restrained nose, showing aromas of a black fruit basket, vanilla, cinnamon stick, mushrooms, lavender and tobacco. Blossoms on the palate beautifully, turning onto a more floral path. So easy-drinking, you don’t even feel it. I can only imagine what this would be like with some proper food – we’re talking truffle risotto preceded by a hearty rabbit stew. Oh, lawd have mercy. Somebody compared this to a sturdy man by which everybody is blown away as he enters the room. Then he starts talking and you’re already thinking how the level of sexiness is simply unbearable for all standards of life. Guys, let’s all strive towards becoming this wine, seriously.

  October 3, 2017 - Jancis Robinson 2013 Barolo Night (Tribeca Grill, NYC): Light cherry, almost Pinot-like cherry cola nose. Spicy, with approachable tannin on the palate. Very pretty. Would be a fun wine to put into a blind tasting. [+] [Les:+]
