Barolo “Bricco delle Viole” DOCG 2017 · MAGNUM
G.D. Vajra | Piedmont
Az. Agr. G.D. Vajra | Via delle Viole, 25 | 12060 Barolo
Bricco delle Viole is a progressive and fruit-driven single-vineyard Barolo that comes to us well-contoured but not at all angular or bulky. Deep red cherry and plum notes with lovely hints of classic floral notes and some rosewood. On the palate, it is sensual and engaging, its open, fruity, classic bouquet also giving it a delicious component that makes it irresistible. SUPERIORE.DE
"Seems cool and demanding in comparison, yet not stingy with open-hearted fruit, radiates profundity; shows a lot of spice and fruit, is juicy and harmonious, with sweet fruit, everything is harmonious and seems solid, velvety and yet demanding until the long finish." Weinwisser
"Bright, intense ruby red. Finely marked nose of ripe raspberries, noble spice, cardamom, a hint of plums, graphite. On the palate with a juicy entry, appears fresh and compact, with delicate pressure and fine balance, spans a finesse-rich arc, persistent on the final." Falstaff
"Transparent pillar-box red. Powerful nose of dried something. Cherries? Rose petals? Perhaps both. Super-fresh, despite the alcohol, with such great presence in the mouth. It's not nearly ready but it's clearly destined for great things. Sweet and chewy with a strong mineral undertow. Jewel-bright fruit. Real lift but more powerful than ethereal. Even slightly pungent with a whiff of cordite. Really refreshing health juice. Great stuff." Jancis Robinson
"This silky Barolo boasts aromas and flavors of rose, black currant, cherry, raspberry and iron, with a touch of earth, showing terrific purity and length. This is more about finesse than power, though the tannins are present and should allow this to age." Wine Spectator
"Aromas of ripe strawberries and flowers follow through to a full body with firm, chewy tannins that are silky and very polished. That palate is very clear and precise. Attractive, if chewy finish." James Suckling
"The 2017 Barolo Bricco delle Viole is classy and elegant to the core. Medium in body and wonderfully translucent, the 2017 captures all of the finesse of this site. Naturally, the 2017 also shows the ripeness of the year, but it retains its sublime sense of poise. The 2017 Bricco delle Viole is one of the clear stand outs of the year." Vinous
"The G.D. Vajra 2017 Barolo Bricco delle Viole is packed with medium dark cherry fruit and plum. The wine also shows a savory side, with spice, hazelnut cream, licorice and lightly fragrant potting soil. This vintage sits solid on the palate, wrapping thickly over the senses, thanks to its creamy, fruit-driven consistency and well-managed tannins. These vines are high in elevation, ranging from 400 to 480 meters in altitude. Those higher elevations are key to interpreting a vintage that saw heat such as this." Wine Advocate
"Precise and pure, this opens with cherry, raspberry and cranberry, while nuances of fresh earth, wild herb and incense permeate. The palate is taut; its upfront tannins long, firm and powdery. Surprisingly sinewy and racy, it has a sour red cherry and brushwood finish." Decanter
"Aromas of underbrush, pine forest, woodland berries and cedar form the enticing nose. Full-bodied and savory, the structured palate delivers ripe Morello cherry, raspberry compote, star anise and cinnamon before closing on pipe tobacco notes. Tightly knit but refined tannins provide the backbone, while surprisingly fresh acidity for the hot vintage keeps it balanced." Wine Enthusiast
