Lot #1053. Aldo Conterno Barolo Riserva Granbussia 1989

Description: Consists of 1 Magnum, 1.5L
Region: Italy, Piedmont, Barolo.
Score: 97 AG.
"Conterno's 1989 Barolo Riserva Granbussia is darker in color and fresher than the 1990. Sweet mentholated, balsamic aromatics meld gracefully into an expressive, layered core of dark fruit. The 1989 is a big, expansive Granbussia that takes time to reveal its qualities in full, but it is a remarkable wine for the integrity of its fruit, the finesse of its tannins and its sumptuous overall balance. It remains a benchmark wine for Conterno and the appellation." Vinous, Feb 2010
Notes: Very lightly scuffed, very lightly bin soiled label.
