G.D. Vajra Description
G.D. Vajra's Barolo Bricco delle Viole 2020, a single-vineyard masterpiece. This Nebbiolo, a testament to the Bricco delle Viole terroir, boasts a complex bouquet of red fruit, rose petal, and spice, evolving into a structured palate with a lingering finish.
Jeb Dunnuck: 98 Points
A ripe ruby color, the 2020 Barolo Bricco Delle Viole is incredible on the nose. Initially lightly smoky on opening, it needs a little time to reveal notes of candied roses, wild raspberries, tea leaf, and sweet sage. Medium to full-bodied, with ripe tannins, a balanced, compact nature, and a velvety texture, it is nicely concentrated, yet with a weightless feel. This is one of the most complete wines I’ve tasted from Vjara to date. It has depth, but with a defined feel, and is long on the palate, with an exceptional finish. It’s going to have a wide drinking window but age at a very slow rate over the next two to three decades.
James Suckling: 96 Points
Rose petals, racy plums and cherries with subtle white pepper spices and mineral. The tight, full-bodied palate is grasped by fine, minerally textured tannins. Powerful, ample and vertical in the middle before a lengthy, mineral finish. Such a joy to taste now, but this would be better in two to three years.
