1999 Barolo Bricco Rocche Bricco Rocche-Medium ruby. The Bricco Rocche is another potent effort from this house. It displays earthy, tarry aromas along with perfumed sweet red fruit and mineral nuances that occasionally make an appearance before being overwhelmed by a wall of new oak tannins. A second bottle was noticeably more advanced and provided some insight into how this wine might age. That bottle was beautiful and suggested a very classic, ethereal Barolo of notable length. That said, it remains egregiously overpriced for the quality. 90/drink after 2009, 03/06
