Opened and decanted.
Initial Impression in the first hour… tight, slow to open. Hints of tar
and roses after an hour. 14% alc. Quite
dark garnet color with slight bricking at edges. Tannins seem to be still a bit unyielding. A bit like a young Burgundy.
2nd hour … softer and chewier.. fruit is
starting to open up. Leather and cherry.
Nose isn't giving up much.
3rd hour … earth and subtle sous bois.. still
opening up and becoming gradually more approachable…
4th hour … finally coming around .. nose is
still muted but the palate is blossoming … overall, a more traditional style …
Based on this experience, the Bricco Fiasco could use
several more years in the cellar to reach an optimal drinking window … it is
not as approachable as the San Rocco (which is one of my favorites).
