Monforte d'Alba. Deep healthy crimson. Disconcertingly open nose. By no means a classic wine. Some tannins but well hidden. (JR)

The super-intense, powerful, weighty, multidimensional, full-bodied, sweet, sexy 1997 Barolo Bricco Luciani exhibits a more forward character than it did prior to bottling. There are layers of fruit, glycerin, and extract, and the wine reveals abundant quantities of black cherry and berry fruit intermixed with spice box, leather, licorice, and Chinese black tea notes. As it sits in the glass, scents of melted asphalt, rose petals, and tobacco emerge. This is a superb, hedonistic yet powerful, concentrated Barolo to drink between 2003-2020.

Deep ruby color. Black cherry, espresso and dark chocolate on the nose, plus a hint of menthol. Thick and sweet, with a slightly higher pitch and more clarity and grip than the Manzoni. Strong black cherry flavor. Very unevolved yet already communicates a lot of personality. The ripe tannins coat the entire mouth.
