Bric dël Fiasc Barolo Nebbiolo

Antithetical great bottle. Dark and brooding but it opened up nicely. Muscular but balanced.

Dark fruit, anis/licorice component. Has a richness to it. Nose has some VA, soy character. Palate is still tightly wound.
Go Dawgs!

Painfully young

A deep garnet core with ruby edges in color.
The nose is classic crushed rose petals, sour cherry, minerality, spice, and sandalwood that hints of the barely noticeable presence of oak.
The palate follows the nose with the sour cherry, a touch of spice and a deeper notice of the oak treatment but it is well integrated. The real attention getter is that classic palate texture, refined and elegant but with the powerful structure and tannic backbone. As good as this is now, it should be a few levels better in 5 years, and easily go another 15-20. For now, decant and aerate for 2 hours or leave open in bottle for several hours.

Rich and powerful, the tannins are grippy, aromas of sour cherries and licorice. On the palate you really get the high alcohol from almost raisinated fruit.

Double decanted and needed it. Opened up in the glass to show its fruit and depth but, big, still tight to start.

Absolutely terrific 2006 Bric. Still powerful but graceful, as well as full of life and energy. Bright fruit, but all Nebbiolo character. Just great!

Tasted on 4/10/18 at Plazza Duomo in Alba. Sweet fruit on the nose, very strong & structure, Long finishe

Just too big for me. Not bad but not my style of Barolo.

Bouche pulpeuse en attaque avec toute fois un belle fraîcheur milieu de bouche avec une belle acidite et un beau fruit finale cacaoté et réglisse avec un côté chaleureux et alcooleux trop présent
