The 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. (AG)

Very impressive nose on this. Bright, fresh and ripe fruit jump out of the glass. Think blueberries and mulberries. A pensive wine with a full body layered with beautiful fruit. This is deep and fascinating.

Mid ruby. Meaty nose with great life. Sweet, round palate. There is probably just as much tannin in this wine as the Carobric but the fruit is much more intense so disguises it. Some real richness. 18/20 points (JR)
