G. D. Vajra Barolo Bricco della Viole 2021

Dark cherries, orange rind, dried flowers and cinnamon on the nose. The palate is incisive and medium- to full-bodied with tender fruit, refined and polished tannins and a long, persistent, flavorful finish. Elegant and almost ethereal in essence. Really well crafted and detailed. Better in 2026. - Jacobo Garcia-Andrade Llamas

The 2021 Barolo Bricco Belle Viole is a wine of stature and breeding. Vertical in shape, the Bricco Belle Viole has so much to offer. Dark-toned fruit, leather, incense, gravel and licorice add an attractive savory edge. The 2021 is an especially somber, potent Bricco Belle Viole. I would not dream of touching a bottle anytime soon.
