1999 Paolo Scavino Bric del Fiasc Barolo DOCG

The 1999 Barolo Bric del Fiasc is utterly impeccable from start to finish. Vivid, layered and totally beautiful, the 1999 caresses the palate with tons of nuance and pure pedigree. Sweet red fruit, flowers mint and dried herbs are just some of the many notes that blossom in the glass. Once a brute, the 1999 has developed into a sophisticated, refined Barolo of the highest level. Sweet, floral notes add further lift on the expressive, perfumed finish. The 1999 has more than enough depth to drink well for many, many years. Sweet roses, mint and licorice add the final nuances in a memorable Barolo from Scavino. (AG) Review Date: November 2012
