Sunday, February 27, 2022 - Howard’s note describes this wine very well. I tasted it blind and was really confused by it. There is very ripe blue, and black fruit. Higher alcohol. I was first thinking American Zinfandel. The more I tasted it, the acidity kept telling me this was old world but modern style. There is some fine tannin here, too. It is not Cab or Merlot. I went to Rhône, but wasn’t getting any real Rhône flavors. It’s not that, but what the hell is it? Ran out of time. After the A few Barolo(i?) and a Brunello, this seemed pretty ripe for my tastes, but Ann really liked it. One of those times where the preceding wines didn’t do this one any favors.

    7/8/2022 11:40:00 PM - Hi Jeff,

    (Belatedly) thanks for the shout out. I went to wine storage today and pulled a bottle of the 2016 Vajra Superiore - always one of my favourite Barberas - and reading your review (and mine again!) on CT it'll be going back into storage for a few more years.

    Trust you're going well.

    Cheers, Howard
