A ripe Barolo from a warm vintage. Compared to previous releases, this Cru has more approachable tannins and dark cherry flavors (almost raisin for one of our tasters). Not cheap, but available in some southern states Costco stores... so if this style is up your alley, stock up.

The 2015 Barolo Bric del Fiasc is dark and imposing on the palate, yet not quite as forbidding as it can be. A Barolo of size and heft, the 2015 has a lot to say, but it won't be ready to drink anytime soon. Black cherry, smoke, leather, iron, licorice, menthol and graphite notes infuse the 2015 with layers of nuance to complement its brooding, sepia-toned personality nicely. The 2015 is a beguiling Barolo, but it needs cellaring. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, November 2019)
