    1/30/21, 1:50 PM - I laughed when I read this, though I'm curious how to interpret. Is it because it is built for earlier drinking and more accessible/modern in its approach? Vajra doesn't have a reputation to glossy oak, for example, but my understanding is that nonetheless this isn't a traditional Barolo requiring 15+ years to reach drinkability.

    4/12/21, 5:39 AM - I found this pretty funny too. I don’t think it’s meant to be a negative tone (especially since 89 points is still a good wine in my book). I’ve had this wine and thought it was good but it’s definitely meant to appeal to a younger crowd of wine drinkers which is more into instant gratification. I still think this specific vintage is too young and could use some more cellaring though.
