2007 G.D. Vajra Barolo Bricco delle Viole
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo
This has a slightly odd oxidative nose which, once I fixed onto, I found hard to get past. It was dark, rich and spicy on the palate but again a touch oxidative with a medium length, slightly flat finish. Not rated as I suspect this is unrepresentative.

2001 Giuseppe E Figlio Mascarello Barolo Monprivato
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo
This showed tremendous potential, with lovely underlying pure red fruit and a sense of complexity but was still quite tight, reined in and there was a touch of swimming pool about it too. Again, not sure if this is fully representative. NR
