Tasting Notes

WS96

Tasted from magnum. Dark ruby red color. Fabulous aromas of ripe red fruit and cloves and all sorts of Indian spices. Full-bodied, with gorgeous fruit and wonderfully silky tannins. Complex and flavorful on the finish. It delivers a full palette of character. Even better than I remember.

RP92

The super-intense, powerful, weighty, multidimensional, full-bodied, sweet, sexy 1997 Barolo Bricco Luciani exhibits a more forward character than it did prior to bottling. There are layers of fruit, glycerin, and extract, and the wine reveals abundant quantities of black cherry and berry fruit intermixed with spice box, leather, licorice, and Chinese black tea notes. As it sits in the glass, scents of melted asphalt, rose petals, and tobacco emerge. This is a superb, hedonistic yet powerful, concentrated Barolo to drink between 2003-2020.
