TN: 2006 G.D. Vajra Barolo Albe

  • 2006 G.D. Vajra Barolo Albe - Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo (10/26/2019)
    Nose: The Nose Is perfumed, elegant, and refined with red cherries, strawberries, raspberries, rose petals, licorice, potpourri, juniper berries, and a touch of leather.

Taste: The feel is medium bodied with tart, high acidity and silky, high tannins. The structure is showing some maturity, but it is still very much there along with red cherries, raspberries, strawberries, rose petals, licorice, and leather tones.

Overall: This is a gorgeous Barolo that is really in its pomp right now. The fruit is still primary, but it’s all in harmony along with a distinct and attractive savory side. This is drinking beautifully right now, but there is a long way to go. (91 pts.)

Thanks for the report. I have almost no experience with these. Sounds great, particularly considering that this was just $30 or so at the time.
