Barolo Bric del Fiasc 1999 Paolo Scavino

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (94)

Scavino is the producer who put the Fiasco vineyard on the map, and the 1999 Barolo Bric del Fiasc is impressive. A potent and penetrating nose of tobacco, chocolate, and tar is followed by a palate of mouthfilling, concentrated, high-extract yet sweet flavors, abundantly endowed with licorice, tar, and minerals. The wine is very solid in texture, but voluptuous in its caressing tactile sensations.

Winespectator (91)

This has blackberry and strawberry tart aromas, with hints of flowers, including violet. Full-bodied, with soft, fine tannins, finishing with licorice, berry and fennel seed.
