95 Robert Parker
The 2005 Barolo Bric del Fiasc is a huge, muscular wine. In 2005 the wine shows a decidedly fruit-driven, fresh style. The purity of fruit here is remarkable. The dark, brooding quality that is often present in the wine is absent, while floral, perfumed elements dominate in this vintage. The fruit remains dense, ripe and primary. From start to finish, this is a remarkable Bric del Fiasc. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030.<br/>

I really like the dried red fruit, almost stewed, with berries and spices. Full bodied, tannic and powerful. This is a huge wine with a tremendous finish. Hold off on this until 2015.

Sliced plum, floral and leaf aromas. Full-bodied, with very soft, velvety tannins with rich, generous fruit. Long and powerful. Best after 2013.

Paolo Scavino is one of Italy’s leading estates, they have produced the finest examples of Barolos since the 1920s. Established by Scavino family, Enrico Scavino has been at the helm of this estate for many years. A visionary in the vinous field, Enrico is one of the main figures responsible for Piedmont’s astonishing reputation. The Paolo Scavino estate is home to the greatest 29 hectares of vineyard holdings in the region, including the leading Crus of Barolo - Cannubi, Bric dël Fiasc and Rocche dell’Annuziata. Vinifying the wines parcel by parcel allows the domaine to perfect their wines. Today, Enrico’s daughters, Elisa and Enrica help manage the estate. Their flagship, Bric dël Fiasc symbolizes one of the earlier examples of Barolo single-vineyard bottlings, with the first vintage being produced in 1978.
