1999 Barolo Bricco delle Viole, G. D. Vajra

1999 Barolo Bricco delle Viole, G. D. Vajra

Appearance: medium red-purple in colour, some orange to the rim.

Nose: red cherry fruit with marzipan, game stock (some rich meat/vegetal flavours at least) and floral notes; a little spice from the oak here too. Delicate.

Palate: mellowed, prickly medium tannins, high balanced acidity, highish alcohol, good use of oak and lovely spicy fruit. Excellent length.

Conclusion: very good indeed. Ready to drink but could improve. A wonderful expression of Barolo.

Rating: 18.5/20
