This wine had few fans: "chemical", "sewage"; color: light brown, "see-through". Uncle P identified it correctly as Italian in origin, or possibly a nebiolo. A great pitty, since this was a promising Piedmont Barolo Bussia 2004, from Poderi Calla which has a great reputation. Perhaps this was a bad bottle but it was a truly disappointing wine; 1+ to 2. Eminently forgetable.
