The outstanding 1994 Barolo Bricco Fiasco is a surprisingly powerful wine that is crammed with concentrated strawberry/cherry fruit intermixed with cedar, Asian spices, cigar smoke, and dried herb aromas and flavors. Powerful and concentrated, particularly for a 1994, this luscious, multidimensional wine can be drunk now, as well as over the next 4-6 years. It is very impressive!
