Tasted at the BI Wines & Spirits 10-Year On tasting

cassis and plum that exhibit interesting wisps of leather and smoke

Is this the best vintage since 1990 or perhaps 1978

Thick and fat to the point of being oily in texture

Vérité's 2015 La Joie is deep

Paolo Scavino, Barolo Bric Fiasc Vintage:2004 Tasted at the BI WinesThe 2000 Barolo Bric del Fiasc (magnum) explodes onto the palate with layers of raspberry jam, new leather, licorice and spices, showing tons of intensity, expressive inner sweetness and an impossibly long, powerful finish. Bric del Fiasc is usually a massively tannic wine, but in 2000 the fruit has enough intensity to nearly cover the tannins. This is superb, great Bric del Fiasc. Antonio Galloni
