Lots of heft and complexity. The fruit is still packing a nice punch but it’s deeper and more mature. Tobacco. Red fruits. Strong tannins. Great color. — 2 days ago

Youthful that will benefit with air, drinking beautifully with its bright red cherry, berry fruit, dried herbs, leather, savory spice, rose petal & tobacco notes — 7 days ago

Great producer, great cru and great vintage.
Well played Sir.
I hope you had some truffles from Piedmont close by.

Aldo Vaira took control of the family vineyards in 1968, when he was just 15 years old. Today, G.D. Vajra consists of 150 acres, mostly around the commune of Barolo.
Ruby with a rich bouquet of fruit, spices and floral notes, fruit from several vineyards, aged 26 months in Slavonian oak casks. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with notes of pepper, cinnamon and floral, slight earthy notes. Long finish, nice balance with fine soft tannins ending with earthy floral notes. Enjoyable now, a few more years will benefit. — a month ago

2021 vintage. Last tasted 7.17.24 (9.2). This "junior" Barolo continuing to bring the goods. Medium-heavy body. Likely best in another 7-10 years but showing nicely now. The nice price and a worthy choice while waiting for those big gun Barolos to come out of hibernation. 12.11.24. — 11 days ago

Parking Lot - Trader Joe’s 30$ Barolo. 14.5%. Tasted on the spot! With the mini snack cups from T.G. Brownish tinge, tealeaves and quite tart. Lacks classic Barolo flavors - will pass up on this one. Sad 😞 - Great vintage how can anyone screw this up? Might this needs hours of air and or a proper glass? Will add to these notes - in 3 hours. May be i am wrong? — 8 days ago

Great idea but should have paired with samples of Trader Giotto’s meatballs or gnocchi

Bummer. Will hafta See if I can score a bottle from the local TJ's to see if notes are consistent. This version usually pretty workmanlike and in the 9.1-9.2 zone.
