Barolo Bricat 2014

Provenance

The late David Brice was a respected wine connoisseur, collector and co-founder of Brice and Burnett – The Fine Wine Specialists (formerly Wine Cellar). His lifelong passion for wine from all corners of the world wine, and generosity, helped develop a culture of fine wine in South Africa and beyond. Always with value and authenticity in mind, the collection spans a wide range of styles from leading producers and diverse regions. The wines were professionally imported under refrigeration and carefully stored at Brice and Burnett (formerly Wine Cellar) thereafter. Many of the producers are not available in South Africa and provide an excellent buying opportunity.

For more detailed information on the lots, please feel free to contact Roland Peens (roland@briceandburnett.co.za). Roland spent many years sharing and enjoying these wines with David Brice and is happy to provide further insight into the collection.

Critics Ratings

“Just mid crimson. The most concentrated of the three 2014 offerings (Castelletto, Gramolere) with lifted sweet cherry and hints of cinnamon. Iron too. A little drawn back on the palate with pronounced but finely powdered tannins. Pure lithe cherry and raspberry fruit. Lithe, not light.” - Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com, 17++/20 (Dec 2017)

“The 2014 Barolo Bricat is all class. Perfumed, gracious and impeccably balanced, the 2014 is sublime today. Freshly cut flowers, sweet red berry fruit, mint and spice all lift from the glass effortlessly. Mid-weight structure and fine, silky tannins add to an impression of total finesse.” - Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 92/100 (Aug 2018)
