G.D. Vajra Barolo Bricco delle Viole 2019 14.5% ABV South AfricaRuby red with garnet reflections. On the nose, the 2019 is beautifully layered: violet flowers, marasca cherries, candies and wet stones all grace this effusive and evocative Barolo. The palate reveals the signature verticality of Bricco delle Viole combined with an incredible complexity, and expands with velvety tannins and a profound finish. 97 Points Jeb Dunnuck Region: Barolo DOCG, Piedmont, Italy Grape Variety: Nebbiolo
