Critics Ratings

‘The 2008 Barolo Bric del Fiasc is incredibly fine in this vintage, probably because of the addition of a new Riserva from this vineyard into the lineup. Dark red fruit, flowers, mint and spices flow from this graceful, refined Barolo. It will be interesting to see where the 2008 goes from here. I can’t say the 2008 is a very typical Bric del Fiasc because it is more finesse than power, but it is a very beautiful wine just the same. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2033.’ - Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, 95/100

‘This round red is full of cherry flavor, with a rear guard of muscular tannins. Really monolithic today, with the structure dominating. Though tightfisted on the finish, there's sweet fruit at the core. Best from 2016 through 2032.’ - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 90/100

‘Fragrant raspberry, still quite embryonic, and gripping bitter-sweet tannins.’ - Walter Speller, 17+/20 (Sep 2014)
