Podere Ruggeri Corsini, Barolo DOCG (Piedmont, Italy) 2015

 Bussia is a famous but rather unreliable cru, simply because it is huge in extent and, consequently, home to many sites and producers of varying quality.  However, at least three vintners made great wines from it in 2015, and I thought this was narrowly the best of the three when tasting blind.  It is highly complex and supremely alluring, with wonderfully seductive aromas displaying floral, savory, spicy and fruit notes.  On the palate, it shows a traditional style with moderate ripeness and oak but lots of expressive flavors, all of which are delivered in such proportionality that every nuance gets to present itself, leaving an impression that is, well…orchestral.
