Barolo Bric dël Fiasc [Library Release 2026], 2005
The same vineyard as Azelia’s Bricco Fiasco but named using the Piedmontese dialect. A rich Barolo of Herculean strength, one of the vintage’s most muscular. Ripe and brooding fruit flavours of bramble, currant and cherry, this is clearly thick set and concentrated, whilst offering a subtle perfume and a certain style and polish too. This shows great power and intensity now, but it feels like there is even more to come from this. One to lay down for several years.
critic reviews
The 2005 Barolo Bric del Fiasc is impressive. Still powerful and explosive, the 2005 needs a few more years in bottle for its bouquet to open up an the tannins to soften. Intense feral notes typical of this site give the wine much of its strong, assertive personality. Iron, blood, game, smoke, incense and herbs open up, but only with great reticence. Readers will have to be patient, but the 2005 is shaping up to be a terrific Barolo very much in a large-scaled, structured style that is the signature of this Castiglione Falletto site.
