October 8, 2023 - Opened the night before & it needed it, big full bodied Barolo that was balanced, enjoyable & paired well with bone marrow

June 9, 2023 - Popped the cork about 5 hrs early for a little decant. Graphite prevalent but nice fruit. Thats about it. Nice, but I dont expect I will return to this wine.

May 19, 2023 - Pop and pour. 14.5% Expressive on the nose, but not as beautiful when I tried it on release. In fact, I found the VA distracting on the nose without so much of the fruit or rose I found in youth. A little spicy on the finish. I'm a little surprised this is now a $150 wine per CT auction data, but I guess its cheaper than Burgundy! Maybe Vajra isn't my jam? Will try 08 BdV next.

April 29, 2023 - Decanted for 30 minutes before enjoying over an hour at L’artusi. Same as my previous notes. This is outstanding. Aromas filled the entire room and the palate went on for days. Finish goes on and on. I can’t wait to see how this develops over the next few decades. 96-97+
