Readers will adore the huge, sweet, chocolatey, black-cherry, and herb-scented nose of the 1989 Barolo Bricco Punta. A rich, luscious, supple style of Barolo, it exhibits intense concentration, adequate acidity, and a ripe, round, velvety-textured finish. It is a Barolo for drinking during its first 12-15 years of life.
Luigi Scavino, from the same family as Enrico Scavino, has always caught my attention because of his excellent Dolcettos. However, in the two superb vintages of 1989 and 1990, Scavino has turned out some spectacular Barolos from the Bricco Punta and Bricco Fiasco vineyards. The extraordinary quality of these two vintages makes it virtually impossible to pick a favorite. Readers should note the modest prices.
