1979 Bruno Giacosa Bussia di Monforte Riserva Speciale Italian New mineral-tinged undercurrent that adds to"Bright red in color, with only a small garnet rim, the 1975 Bussia offers a rare combination of evolved notes (woodsy spices, tobacco and faded red rose petals), but also considerable fruitiness (lingering red cherry and raspberry aromas and flavors).
