2020 Barolo, Bricco delle Viole, G.D. Vajra
The G.D. Vajra 2020 Barolo Bricco delle Viole is a very pretty wine with brightness and delicate aromas that remain etched and defined. You get dried violet or lilac, tart cherry, cranberry, lavender essence, rosemary and other perfumed Mediterranean nuances. Bricco delle Viole finishes dry, and the tannins are on the powdery side, giving the wine medium weight and a lean mid-palate. ~ (95) Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 4-4-2024

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. ~ (96) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 1-9-2024
Pale ruby, a touch more colour than the Coste di Rose. Dusty, savoury nose with dried redcurrant and cinnamon spice. Firm, gripping tannin. More depth and hold than the Coste di Rose. Spicy finish. Quite classic. ~ (17) Samantha Cole-Johnson, JancisRobinson.com 8-8-2024
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. ~ (98) Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck.com 5-13-2024
Elegant and graceful, with a silky texture, this red evokes strawberry, cherry, rose, mint and mineral aromas and flavors. Firmly structured and lively, with balance and a resonant, energetic finish. Shows superb harmony, finesse and length. Best from 2027 through 2048. 1,250 cases made, 700 cases imported. ~ (96) Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator 11-30-2024
