G.D. Vajra Barolo Albe

Aromas of ripe raspberries and dark spice follow through to a medium-to full-bodied palate, with some fine, fruit and spice-coated tannin and a medium finish that firms up at the end. Sustainable. Give this a year or two. Best from 2024.

First day: Just mid ruby and healthy looking. Spicy and stony raspberry and cherry fruit that is lively and with notes of red fruit. Supple and gentle fruit palate with crunchy tannins. Long and with a certain leggerezza. Filigree and at the same time intense. Second day: A little more closed that the previous day but with alluring fresh red fruit and a hint of orange peel. The fruit becomes more concentrated the longer it sits in the glass. Sappy and fresh and almost a little racy with long powdery tannins. Has lost a little of its complexity but not its freshness. A bit more bones, a little less flesh.
