2001 Boroli Barolo Bussia

Have had the Villero cuvee from Boroli, but this is my first foray with the Bussia.  Upon opening the bottle, very attractive florals burst forth.  Initial taste yields delicious classic tar and roses profile. Slow-o for a couple of hours and then into a decanter.
While this was an enjoyable quaff, it just doesn't have a lot of complexity.  Perhaps with additional age? It does lean toward the modern side.  On the palate, the fruit was tasty and then it stopped short with a bit of heat and a sense of clunkiness. ... struggling to show more but not getting there. Paired fairly well with grilled bone-in ribeye steaks.
