This wine possesses lots of glycerin, low acidity, and a forward, unreal, atypical lushness and opulence. The spectacular 1997 Barolo Bricco Rocche adds several layers of classic Nebbiolo flavors (tar, roses, cherry liqueur) and a plush texture, with enough glycerin, fruit, and alcohol for the palate to get lost. The opaque purple color is followed by subtle new oak, fabulous purity, and a finish that lasts for nearly a minute. Full-bodied, but marvelously rich and well-balanced, it should be terrific when released early next year.
