Paolo Scavino, Barolo Bricco Ambrogio Vintage:2004 plum liqueur and a hintThe 2003 Barolo Bricco Ambrogio has held up nicely. Dark red cherry, plum, cloves, new leather and licorice meld together in a mid weight, fleshy, attractive Barolo with plenty of freshness. As always, the Bricco Ambrogio stands out in the Scavino range for its immediacy and fruit driven personality. Antonio Galloni
