Azelia
Barolo, Bricco Fiasco, 2004
justerini & brooks tasting note
Initially a touch closed and reticent on the nose, however this explodes to life on the palate, bursting with intense damson, plum and berry flavours, shades of sweet spice and smoky oak, long, serious, sturdy and extremely classy.

94/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous
The 2004 Barolo Bricco Fiasco is just beginning to show the early signs of tertiary development, but it also has more than enough depth and tannic backbone to age well for another decade plus. Crushed rose petals, dark red stone fruits, sweet spices and mint lend considerable nuance and complexity to the lifted, expressive finish. The 2004 spent two years in French oak barrels, 20% new.
