The 1998 Barbaresco Bricco Asili-Faset exhibits a plum/garnet color in addition to intense aromas of cherry liqueur, licorice, and leather. It is medium-bodied, with plenty of concentration, but hard tannin in the finish suggests 1-2 years of cellaring is required. This wine may become slightly austere.
