The 1996 Barolo Bric del Fiasc displays a saturated plum color, a smoky, black cherry-scented nose, explosive, fleshy flavors with plenty of glycerin, anevolved and seductive character, extraordinary intensity, and impeccable balance. Exotic Asian spice and fruit cake aromas add to its complexity. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2018. A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel.
