Azelia Barolo Bricco Fiasco 2001 750ml

Bricco Fiasco shows perfectly the radiant personality of Castiglione Falletto. Extremely perfumed, floral, with a core of red fruit. Rich, warm, intensely fresh.

94 Points - Vinous
The 2001 Barolo Bricco Fiasco is one of the most impressive wines in this ten-year retrospective of the 2001 Baroli. The Bricco Fiasco remains vibrant, fresh and beautifully delineated from start to finish. Bright flowers, ripe red cherries, mint and iron flow onto the palate in this gorgeous, totally impeccable Barolo. The 2001 doesn't taste or feel that much different than it did as a young wine. There is plenty of energy and focus for the 2001 to make it to its 20th birthday. If opened today the wine needs at least a few hours of air for the tannins to soften.

93 Points - Wine Spectator
A soft and ripe red with plum and cherry character and just a hint of meat. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long finish.
