The 1996 Barolo Bric del Fiasc displays a saturated plum color, a smoky, black cherry-scented nose, explosive, fleshy flavors with plenty of glycerin, anevolved and seductive character, extraordinary intensity, and impeccable balance. Exotic Asian spice and fruit cake aromas add to its complexity. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2018. A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel.

Scavino's 1996 Bric del Fiasc, tasted from magnum, is one of the truly great versions of this wine. It offers captivating notes of tar, licorice and menthol along with a tightly wound core of vibrant dark fruit on a structured, deeply expressive frame of notable length. Though starting to show some tertiary nuances, this Barolo will be even better in a few years.
