Piero Busso 2004 Barbaresco Santo Stefanetto Barbaresco, Piedmont, Italy
Quite intense and aromatic, perfumed, with a little volatile-floral component and red fruit. The palate is bone dry, highly tannic and mouth-puckering. Not showing well today, this is a style of wine that needs another 3 to 5 years to be approaching drinkability. It certainly has the density and concentration to improve over time.
