2011 G.D. Vajra Bricco delle Viole, Barolo DOCG, Piedmont

94+ pts - Antonio Galloni

Freshly cut flowers, sweet red berries, mint and cinnamon are all laced together in the 2011 Barolo Bricco delle Viole. The flavors are bright, lifted and focused, but the texture and silkiness capture the resonance and generosity of the vintage. This is a beautifully balanced, harmonious Bricco delle Viole that should drink well relatively early. In 2011, Bricco delle Viole is all about sensuality. What a gorgeous wine this is.
