A very pure and well-balanced vintage for this wine, it really shines with exceptional detail, offering even tannins and a balanced, seamless structure throughout. It feels as though this wine will offer the broadest window for enjoyment, thanks to its purity and length, which are quite profound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Rating\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"reviewRating\" class=\"sr-only\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_rating\"\u003e97 Points \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"author\" class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\"\u003eJames Suckling \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eDark cherries, orange rind, dried flowers and cinnamon on the nose.

Vajra 2021 Barolo Bricco delle Viole first shows a fragile side, but it eventually rolls onto much greater momentum and focus as it opens in the glass. This is always one of my favorite wines from this excellent producer, and I love it especially thanks to its fine nuances of redcurrant, pressed flower and something a little savory like peat moss. There is a hint of ashy stone or brimstone. All of these little details emerge with terrific sharpness in an epic vintage such as 2021. Fruit comes from a seven-hectare plot at 400 to 480 meters in elevation on Sant'Agata marl soils with marine fossils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Rating\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"reviewRating\" class=\"sr-only\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_rating\"\u003e97 Points \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"author\" class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Spectator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThis red is rich and succulent, displaying cherry, raspberry, earth, leather and eucalyptus flavors.

Vertical in shape, the Bricco delle 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 delle Viole. I would not dream of touching a bottle anytime soon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"winebow","offers":[{"title":"1 \/ 750 ml","offer_id":42480055320681,"sku":"30333656","price":130.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1780\/9427\/files\/g-d-vajra-piemont-barolo-bricco-delle-viole-docg-2020-bio-magnum-05373420.jpg?v=1765601404","url":"https:\/\/winechateau.com\/products\/vajra-barolo-bricco-viole-6-cs-2021","provider":"Wine Chateau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
