A new offering, the 1997 Barolo Caro Bric is an elegant, stylish example. It reveals a tell-tale saturated garnet color with amber at the edge, in addition to intense aromas of coffee, smoke, kirsch, herbs, leather, and fruitcake. Full-bodied, with expansive, saturated layers of fruit, and abundant stuffing as well as richness. It is an exceptional Barolo to enjoy between 2002-2016.
