G. D. Vajra - Barolo 'Bricco delle Viole' DOCG - 2015

The flagship Barolo Bricco delle Viole is quite understated and gracious in 2015. Medium in body, with the persistent tannins that are so typical of this site, the 2015 is lithe, focused and full of energy. The warm vintage notwithstanding, in 2015, Vajra's Bricco delle Viole is distinctly sinewy and tense. It will be very important to you that you will be able to be successful in the future. Barolos too open and giving in their youthful internship. Kirsch, petal rose, mint and chalky notes build into a finely cut finish. Time in the glass softens some of the youthful, austere outlines, but this remains a 2015 Barolo that needs time in bottle at its very best.
