The 1989 Barolo Bricco Sarmassa possesses a saturated dark ruby color, a big, chocolatey, spicy, black-cherry-scented nose, lovely, full-bodied, concentrated flavors with a touch of herbs, and a long, moderately tannic finish. It can be drunk young or cellared for 15 years. Although I am not familiar with this producer's track record, I thought highly of this offering.
