justerini & brooks tasting note

The same vineyard as Azelia’s Bricco Fiasco but named using the Piedmontese dialect. A Barolo of towering presence and considerable class. Tight, cool, bursting currant, cherry and berry fruits, long intense and incisive this is powerful and perfectly poised, the ripe, mouth-watering fruits are veiled in slick, polished tannins, with complex shades of sweet spice and tobacco leaf. Monumental.

critic reviews

95/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous

The Barolo Bric del Fiasc is a bit monolithic. To be sure, Bric del Fiasc is always a powerhouse, but at this age, I expected to see a little more finesse. There is no shortage of intensity, structure or explosive energy, but the 2004 still needs time to come together. I think there is a reasonable chance that will happen given the track record here, but readers will have to be patient. There are plenty of 2004 Barolos that are quite showy today; this is not one of them.
