Azelia Barolo Bricco Fiasco 1999 750ml

93 Points - Vinous
Tar, smoke, licorice, menthol and leather emerge from the 1999 Barolo Bricco Fiasco. Still fresh and vibrant, the 1999 has lost most of its baby fat and is at the early part of its drinking window. The wine turns darker with time in the glass, but never loses its mid-weight personality. This is an immensely appealing Barolo to drink now and over the next handful of years. The characteristic energy of Bricco Fiasco comes through nicely on the finish.

93 Points - Wine Spectator
Displays violet, raspberry, mineral and rose petal on the nose. Full-bodied, with firm, chewy tannins that follow through to a rich, fruity palate, with new wood and sweet tobacco.

92 Points - Robert Parker
Pale garnet-brick colour. Alluringly fragrant aromas of dried roses and violets, moss, black truffles and cassia with a core of warm raspberry. Crisp acidity and a medium level of chewy tannins with plenty of mouthfilling berry and spice flavours on the palate. Long, layered finish.
