Vajra Barolo Albe 2020
DOZEN: $1,242.00 or $103.50 each
A blend of the higher altitude Barolo crus with a large dollop coming from Bricco dell Viole
You can't beat this value. The G.D. Vajra 2020 Barolo Albe is buttoned up with fresh primary fruit…The fruit is dark and savory, and there is a big mineral component to match, but the bouquet is nicely redolent of dark currant, plum, granite and a raspy dry note that brings crushed shale to mind. The tannins are quite impactful, and they give this wine extra runway for moderate bottle aging. MONICA LARNER, wineadvocate.com
A ripe ruby hue, the 2020 Barolo Albe offers a beautiful bouquet of raspberries, fresh flowers, and delicate spice. Medium-bodied, it has a lot of elegance, with ripe and supple tannins and a bit of iron-rich earth. Drink 2024-2037. AUDREY FRICKE, jebdunnuck.com
The friendly 2020 Barolo Albe is all about sheer drinking pleasure. Glossy and savoury, it doles out ripe red cherry, blood orange, pink peppercorn and black tea accompanied by lithe tannins. It's ready but will also offer several years of enjoyment. Drink through 2029. Abv:14% KERIN O'KEEFE, kerinokeefe.com.au
