Nuanced aromatics and bright red-toned fruit are some of the signatures in Vajra's 2014 Langhe Nebbiolo. This super-expressive Nebbiolo punches well above its weight. (AG)

So varietally correct and just nebbiolo being nebbiolo. Tar and roses, of course. Huge puckering tannic quality, baked red fruit, almost a raisin quality like amarone. Dusty, palate eviscerating dryness. Terrific and an extraordinary value.

Beautifull nebbiolo character in a very reasonably priced wine

A little richer than the Rosso; cherries, raspberries, strawberries, maybe some dried berries, tobacco, bramble; balanced tannins

Lovely Nebbiolo. Needed to breathe a bit, but still drinking well.
