2014 G.D.Vajra Barolo Ravera

Earthy, savoury, rolling tannin, minerally feel, has depth and rosy perfume in there. Soil. The quality of tannin is pretty good here, especially considering it’s from 2014. Thick and ripe, even like recalling the wonders of Serralunga (as some parts of Novello often do) with a raspberry freshness. It feels well-etched and clear, and while softer and more approachable this vintage, it’s still pretty robust. And very bloody good. – 94+ points, Gary Walsh
