  • If there’s a leather note you need, it’s from this guy. Like a new pair of Jordans. Moved swiftly into blood, iron. Minerallity 101, if you will. Brown butter and meaty, masculine energy. Miguel Angel Jiminez (with a cigar to chew). Perfect pairing with 60-day dry aged wine. @ Rezdôra

  • Quite plump, front end of maturity, attractive morello cherry element, dark earth, floral notes. Marginally rustic feel to the tannins. ***1/2-****

  • At home. Decanted for half an hour. The warm vintage shows through a little more than expected for this wine - quite ripe cherry with darker flecks, a smokiness overlaid on a distinct floral and tar background. Both classic but at the same time lacking the definition I hoped for ***1/2

  • Lunch au QG
    Un nez un peu vieillot, quelques notes de mélasse, d'anis et d'épices.
    Bouche encore assez puissante, mais savoureuse et d’une belle profondeur, avec une dimension ferrugineuse. Très bon finalement.

  • No formal notes as this was brought to a restaurant, but I would say that this was most certainly ready to drink. Normally this would be far too young to drink for a traditional Barolo like Vajra, but the hot vintage came to play and this is ready. It was offering tertiary development and soft round tannins. Pretty mellow throughout, offering pretty integrated fruit. It wasn't hot or steamy, it just felt 20 years more mature than a classic vintage would at this stage. It even showed some brownness to the color. Overall a very enjoyable wine for consumption today.
