2000 Paolo Scavino Barolo Bric del Fiasc RP--92 WS--98

Wine Spectator: 98 Points
Score: 98 Release Price: $105 Country: Italy Region: Piedmont Issue: Jul 31, 2004 Top 100: 2004, Rank: 4 Very, very ripe fruit, with strawberries and plums galore. Turns to Indian spices and cedar. Full-bodied, with an exquisite palate of ultraripe tannins that turn to velvet. Long, long finish. Cashmere. Great from barrel, great from bottle. This is the best Bric dël Fiasc ever. Best after 2010. 875 cases made. –JS

Wine Advocate # 160 Aug 2005 Daniel Thomases 92 Drink: 2005 - 2018 $105 (105) The 2000 Barolo Bric del Fiasc, powerful and penetrating in aroma with expansive sensations of tar, truffles, and anisette, is dense, burly, and concentrated on the palate, intense on the close, but less sweet and round than unusual. It is built to last, however, and will still be drinking well in 2018.
