Paolo Scavino, Barolo Bric Fiasc Vintage:2016 I wish there were more

I wish there were more wineries setting their sights on this level of quality

Note that like several wines reviewed above that my projected range assumes the underlying material is up to the job of successfully absorbing the wood treatment

melted tar and crushed violet scents

Pierre Lurton and technical director Pierre-Olivier Clouet told me that the final blend is 72% merlot and 28% cabernet franc (it was 75% merlot and 25% cabernet franc during the Primeurs)

Paolo Scavino, Barolo Bric Fiasc Vintage:2016 I wish there were moreThe 2000 Barolo Bric del Fiasc (magnum) explodes onto the palate with layers of raspberry jam, new leather, licorice and spices, showing tons of intensity, expressive inner sweetness and an impossibly long, powerful finish. Bric del Fiasc is usually a massively tannic wine, but in 2000 the fruit has enough intensity to nearly cover the tannins. This is superb, great Bric del Fiasc. Antonio Galloni
