Try from 2027.\" - James Suckling\n2017 Barolo91pts - Antonio Galloni, Vinous\"The 2017 Barolo is a gorgeous entry-level wine. Scorched earth, tar, licorice, black cherry and gravel give the Barolo an unusually dark, brooding profile in 2017. As it often is, the 2017 Azelia Barolo offers tremendous character and nuance in its peer group, or any peer group for that matter.

It is also a far more exciting wine today than it was upon release. Dark red cherry, plum, smoke, tobacco, licorice and menthol all blossom in a gorgeous Barolo just entering the peak of its early drinking window. There are no hard tannins, angular contours or oxidative signs of any kind. Sweet floral and tobacco notes add nuance on the finish. This is a great showing from Azelia, one of the most underappreciated grower estates in Piedmont. The 2003 was aged in French oak barrels, 50% new.\" - Antonio Galloni, vinous.com\n \n\n2004 Bricco Fiasco94pts - vinous.com94pts - Wine Advocate\"The 2004 Barolo Bricco Fiasco is just beginning to show the early signs of tertiary development, but it also has more than enough depth and tannic backbone to age well for another decade plus.

Black cherry, plum, smoke, cedar, licorice, menthol and cloves flesh out in the glass. Effortless, powerful and deep, the 2005 drinks well today and has enough depth to drink well for another decade. Sweet tobacco, French oak, mocha and spices add nuance, while beams of firm tannins support a finish with plenty of succulence and juiciness. The style is a bit more shaped by new French oak than is the norm today, yet the wine becomes more delicate with time in the glass.\" - Antonio Galloni, vinous.com\n\n \n\n2006 Bricco Fiasco94pts - vinous.com94pts - Wine Advocate\"The 2006 Barolo Bricco Fiasco is simply magnificent. It, too, is impressively powerful, but here the layers of flavor are beautifully filled out. Exotic, ripe red fruit, smoke and menthol are but a few of the nuances that gradually emerge as this refined and impeccably elegant wine emerges from the glass. The French oak is beautifully integrated, while the wine's weight and sheer harmony leave a lasting impression.

Crushed flowers, red berries and mint all add to a sense of aromatic lift, nuance and total class. In 2011, the Bricco Fiasco is all about finesse.\" - Antonio Galloni, vinous.com\n\n \n\n2012 Bricco Fiasco95pts - James Suckling92pts - vinous.com\"Very decadent and rich with dried meat, ripe berry and red wood aromas.

The wine starts slowly but increases in a steady upswing of intensity and complexity as it takes on air in the glass. This vineyard located in Castiglione Falletto was planted in the 1940s, and the vines are now 80 years old, on average. They are at their production prime, especially when it comes to the nuanced and finessed fruit produced. The soils here show a larger percentage of sand compared to neighboring Serralunga d'Alba, and the wine is more fruit forward and elegant as a result. The bouquet offers pressed rose, violets and warm autumnal notes. Only 6,300 bottles were produced. This is a terrific wine.\" - Monica Larner, Wine Advocate\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2014 Bricco Fiasco92pts - James Suckling92pts - Wine Advocate91+pts - vinous.com\"Another very good 2014 Barolo from this producer.

Sweet red cherry, mint, iron, rose petal and blood orange are some of the many aromas and flavors that grace this exquisite, beautifully layered Barolo. A wine of subtlety, nuance and grace, the 2016 has so much to offer. I don't remember ever tasting a Bricco Fiasco with this level of finesse and nuance.

Dark stone fruits, graphite, spices, menthol, licorice and tar are some of the signatures. Today the Margheria is virile and also imposing, with all the elements in the right place. The 2005 can be enjoyed today or cellared for up to a decade, perhaps longer. An exotic mélange of lavender, violets, licorice and purplish fruit wraps around the highly expressive, engaging finish. It is also the wine in this range that has maintained the most freshness.

The aging future of the wine looks bright.\" - Monica Larner, Wine Advocate\n\n \n\n2011 Margheria96pts - vinous.com93pts - Wine Advocate\"Iron, smoke, spices, rose petal, lavender and mint meld into a core of dark red fruit in the 2011 Barolo Margheria. Here, too, the style is all about finesse, nuance and complexity. Firm tannins convey an overall impression of classicism. The Margheria is the most classic of the wines in the Scavino range. Three years in cask, with natural malos the spring after the harvest are among the choices that give the Margheria its unique personality. This is a terrific showing from the Margheria, a wine that has blossomed considerably.\" - Antonio Galloni, vinous.com\n\n \n\n2012 Margheria93pts - vinous.com93pts - James Suckling92pts - Wine Advocate\"The 2012 Barolo Margheria is a bit deeper and richer than the Bricco Fiasco.

Scents of lavender, sage, mint, leather and earthiness meld into a core of dark stone fruits. Veins of bright acidity and salinity give the flavors an extra kick of brightness on the finish. The relatively high-altitude of this site and the limestone-rich soils yield a brilliant, salivating Barolo.\" - Antonio Galloni, vinous.com\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2014 Margheria94pts - vinous.com92pts \u0026amp; \"dense aromatic intensity\" - Wine Advocate\"The 2014 Barolo Margheria opens with beguiling, deep-pitched aromatics. Bright red cherry and plum fruit, licorice, anise, rose water and orange peel are some of the many notes that give the wine its personality. Bright, saline and sculpted in feel, the 2014 is going to need a few years to fully unwind, but it is unquestionably vibrant and expressive today.\" - Antonio Galloni, vinous.com\n\n \n\n2015 Margheria95pts - Wine Advocate94pts - vinous.com94pts - James Suckling\"The 2015 Barolo Margheria shows the textural breadth of Serralunga in its compelling interplay of succulent, layered fruit and bright, soil-driven tones, with mineral inflections that add layers of complexity.

Open, perfumed aromatics are immediately alluring. On the palate, the 2017 is a dark, mysterious wine, with layers of flavor that continue to develop over time. Dark cherry, blood orange, spice, leather, iron and scorched earth add striking layers of nuance. The tannins are potent - we are in Serralunga after all - but the 2017 has so much to offer.

This hedonistic Nebbiolo fruit bomb possesses plenty of complexity.\" - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate\n\n \n\n1999 San Rocco94pts - vinous.com\"The 1999 Barolo San Rocco possesses gorgeous depth and richness. Layers of dark red fruit, smoke, tar, licorice and plums all take shape in the glass in this powerful, beautifully articulated Barolo. In 1999 the San Rocco stands out for its plush, authoritative core of fruit and firm, sturdy tannins. The broad shoulders and pure richness of Serralunga come through in spades. Full tertiary aromas are another few years away, so I would suggest cellaring the 1999 for a little while longer. Still, with air, the 1999 San Rocco is gorgeous today. In truth, the 1999 has been striking since the very beginning.\" \"One of the great wines of the vintage.\" - Antonio Galloni, vinous.com\n\n \n\n2000 San Rocco94pts - vinous.com\"Smoke, tar, licorice, leather and dark fruit are some of the aromas and flavors that meld together in this fresh, exquisitely layered Barolo.

Now showing the first signs of maturity, the 2003 is laced with leather, blood, scorched earth, smoke and dark red stone fruits. The powerful, ferrous side of Serralunga comes through in spades. Rose petal and violet overtones contrast the firm Serralunga tannins nicely. A striking, beautiful wine, the 2003 should drink well for the better part of this decade, perhaps longer.\" - Antonio Galloni, vinous.com\n\n \n\n2004 San Rocco95pts - vinous.com93pts - Wine Advocate\"The 2004 Barolo San Rocco is in a gorgeous place right now.

It's hard to know where to start with the San Rocco, as fruit, acidity and structure are all beautifully integrated and refined.

The finish alone is eternal.\" - Antonio Galloni, vinous.com\n\n \n\n2008 San Rocco95pts - vinous.com95pts - Wine Advocate93pts - \"Outstanding length.\" - James Suckling\"The 2008 Barolo San Rocco bursts from the glass with an exciting melange of dark fruit, mocha, tar, smoke and licorice. The San Rocco is much more full-bodied and overtly intense than the Margheria in what is a very classic expression of this Serralunga site. Dark fruit, smoke, licorice and tar wrap around the building, muscular finish. In 2008 the San Rocco is big, dark and flat-out delicious.\" - Antonio Galloni, vinous.com\n\n \n\n2009 San Rocco95pts - James Suckling93pts - \"rich personality\" - Wine Advocate\"This shows fabulous structure and complexity with wonderful fruit and a dense and reserved structure.

A big, explosive wine, the 2010 blossoms in the glass with layers of deep, expressive fruit. The San Rocco is usually a wine of volume and breadth, at it is again in 2010.

Dark red cherries, licorice, spices and new leather flesh out in a Barolo that shows the depth of Serralunga, but with gorgeous mid-palate pliancy, silky tannins and soft contours for a young Barolo. Here, too, the wine's balance is incredibly alluring, especially since the San Rocco has a history of drinking well throughout its entire life.\" - Antonio Galloni, vinous.com\n\n \n\n2012 San Rocco95pts - vinous.com94pts - James Suckling\"The 2012 Barolo San Rocco shows the pedigree of this great site.

The bouquet alone is striking, but it is the wine's total balance that is most appealing today. Tasted next to the Margheria, the San Rocco is deeper, darker and more overtly powerful, with a greater sense of Serralunga tannic clout. Dark cherry, tobacco, menthol, licorice and sweet spices give the San Rocco much of its exotic personality.\" - Antonio Galloni, vinous.com\n\n \n\n2014 San Rocco93pts - vinous.com93pts - \"extra density and concentration\" - Wine Advocate92pts - James Suckling\"As always, San Rocco is distinguished by its deep center of fruit.

This is probably the bottle you put at the back of your cellar while the others might occupy a more accessible spot for medium to long-term drinking. There is a shallow midpoint between the intensity of the bouquet and the wine's structured finale, but that mid-palate zone will certainly flesh out with more time in the bottle. This wine earns an extra point for longevity. \" - Monica Larner, Wine Advocate\n\n \n\n2017 San Rocco96pts – James Suckling94pts – vinous.com“Very pure fruit with crushed strawberries, spices and white truffles on the nose.

Powerful, dense and dark, the Cerretta has so much going for it. Black cherry, plum, lavender, spice, menthol, sage and licorice all flesh out in the glass. Rich and potent in feel with tremendous nuance, the Cerretta is flat-out stunning. The Scavinos started by renting this parcel in 1995 and they re-planted it in 1996. For many years, all of this fruit went into the straight Barolo. Now, 25 years later, the estate has finally released its first single-vineyard Barolo off this site, and it is a stunner.\" - Antonio Galloni, vinous.com\n2017 Cerretta94pts – Robert Parker, Winer Advocate95pts – vinous.com“The 2017 Barolo Cerretta is another powerful wine. Unlike the San Rocco, which is dense in the middle, the Cerretta is distinguished by a more austere, linear feel. Crushed flowers, mint, licorice, blood orange and pine build with time in the glass. The tannins are incisive at this stage, so a few years of cellaring is essential.\" - Antonio Galloni, vinous.com\nRISERVA VOGHERA BREA\n2000 Riserva Voghera Brea96pts – James Suckling90pts – Robert Parker, Winer Advocate90pts - Antonio Galloni“This is the maiden bottling of this wine and is only made in great years. Production is limited to 4,000 bottles. This just explodes on the palate with intense old vine concentration of strawberry and raspberry jam yet maintains a lively freshness and a high degree of refinement. What a wine! 70 year-old vines.\" - James Suckling\n2001 Riserva Voghera Brea93pts – James Suckling91pts – Robert Parker, Winer Advocate“A decadent red showing rich aromas of foie gras and cheese. Very ripe fruit too. Full body with velvety tannins and a long finish. Just coming around now.\" - James Suckling\n2004 Riserva Voghera Brea95pts – Robert Parker, Winer Advocate“The 2004 Barolo Riserva Voghera Brea comes across as quite classic. Red fruits, iron, dried rose, smoke, licorice and tobacco are just some of the nuances that can be found in this wonderful, complex Barolo. Stylistically, the Riserva shows slightly oxidative (but not at all unpleasant) aromas and flavors that recall a more traditional style of Barolo than is typically found at Azelia. Still, I loved the Riserva for its superb balance, expansive fruit and compelling, powerful personality.\" - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate\nRISERVA BRICCO VOGHERA \n2007 Riserva Bricco Voghera 94pts – James Suckling94pts – Robert Parker, Winer Advocate“The 2007 Barolo Riserva Bricco Voghera is a stunning interpretation with bold fruit contours and plenty of complexity as you read between the lines. Blackberry and red currant segue to tar, licorice, balsam herb and rosemary sprig. The intensity is bright and vibrant. \" - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate\n2013 Riserva Bricco Voghera 95pts – James Suckling97pts – Robert Parker, Winer Advocate“The vines are 95 years old on average, although some are as old as 120. They produce just two or three clusters per vine. This is another vineyard site with closed conditions and cool air currents that produce very firm, compact and age-worthy wines. Hence the Riserva designation. Tasted now 10 years after the harvest, you get a delightful expression with budding tones of evolution with black licorice and camphor ash. It ages in oak casks for five years, with another five years in bottle. You feel the tannins at the back, but they are soft and silky. This is a gorgeous wine that rewards those who drink it now. Only 3,100 bottles exist.\" - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n", "mainEntityOfPage": { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https:\/\/randalls.net.au\/blogs\/news\/azelia-museum-cellar-sale-reviews-scores-notes" }, "headline": "Azelia Museum Cellar Sale: Reviews, Scores \u0026 Notes", "image": [ "https:\/\/randalls.net.au\/cdn\/shop\/articles\/Azelia_Header_2_1080x.png?v=1749710036" ], "datePublished": "2025-06-12T16:32:01Z", "dateModified": "2025-06-12T16:33:56Z", "dateCreated": "2025-06-12T16:33:55Z", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "James Tomlinson" }, "publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "logo": { "@type": "ImageObject", "height": 847, "url": "https:\/\/randalls.net.au\/cdn\/shop\/articles\/Azelia_Header_2_1080x.png?v=1749710036", "width": 1080 }, "name": "Randall\u0026#39;s Fine Wines" } }
