Paolo Scavino - Barolo Bric del Fiasc 1999 (3L)
Paolo Scavino Description
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
Antonio Galloni: The 1999 is a big, strapping Bric del Fiasc, boasting a lot of structure and a potent, brooding personality. Though it offers plenty of fruit and the rich style that is the hallmark of this wine, it also comes across as somewhat heavy and lacking the elegance of the finest vintages. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2024.
Wine Enthusiast: 91 Points
Slightly herbal or minty on the nose, but the palate is all that we've come to expect from Scavino, with wonderfully pure red fruits and subtle notes of mineral and sous bois for complexity. Tar and dark chocolate wrap up the supple finish. Drink 2005-2020.
Wine Spectator: 90 Points
Attractive aromas of fresh mushroom, berry and cherry follow through to a medium-bodied palate, with silky tannins and a sweet fruit, smoky aftertaste. Best after 2007. 875 cases made.
