Wine Spectator: 94 Points

This effusive red displays cherry raspberry rose iron juniper and hay flavors underscored by vibrant acidity. Harmonious and supple in texture with a long aftertaste of red fruit mineral and floral elements. Best from 2028 through 2049. 7000 cases made 3500 cases imported.

Wine Advocate: 94 Points

You can't beat this value. The G.D. Vajra 2020 Barolo Albe is buttoned up with fresh primary fruit and the wine does not have that hint of over-ripeness that is found across this vintage. The fruit is dark and savory and there is a big mineral component to match but the bouquet is nicely redolent of dark currant plum granite and a raspy dry note that brings crushed shale to mind. The tannins are quite impactful and they give this wine extra runway for moderate bottle aging. Published: Apr 04 2024
