  Italian odds and sods (N&J's place, Canberra): From Coravin. Slightly lifted notes initially, red cherry rose petal, quite floral in fact, a little red currant and cranberry. Juicy, fleshy, fruit tea notes join the cherry and cranberry all of which are super fresh, super persistent powdery tannins, long, balanced, lovely.

  Ouch. Lighter than typical Vajra Barolo but this needs serious time. Sweeter red fruit than typical but painfully acidic and structured.

  Good, fine. Quite structured but very approachable. Cherry fruit, some perfume and very good tension between acidity and tannins, which energetically do battle for a few seconds while emanating earthy cherry notes. Delivers to price but does not exceed, I'd say.

  I really liked this over the course of two nights. Think of it as Vajra Barolo light. The fruit is sweeter, acidity lower, and structure softer. Still its heavy duty Barolo that will no doubt benefit from five please years of additional age.

  Nez typé et ouvert, bouche au fruit bien vibrant, belle équilibre avec une acidité qui donne de la structure. Finale soyeuse, rien n'accroche. Superbe !
