G.D. Vajra - Barolo Coste Di Rose 2021 (Pre-arrival) (750ml)
Wine Advocate: 96 Points
The G.D. Vajra 2021 Barolo Coste di Rose (a certified organic wine) is especially fragrant and floral in this vintage. It could be the power of suggestion given the wine's name ("slope of roses") but you absolutely get hints of heritage rose or rose hip in this beautiful Nebbiolo. The 2021 vintage hits the ball out of the park. There are characteristic hints of tar and something that reminds me of oil paints or linseed oil. I love the clarity of the mouthfeel.

What an intoxicating nose of flowers like violets and roses and hints of cedar and blueberries. The palate is compact with delineated fruit and superfine elegant tannins. Succulent but with a lovely polished underlying structure. Already a joy to drink but will surely improve substantially with a couple of years of bottle age. Jacobo Garcia-Andrade Llamas.

Loaded with finesse the 2021 Coste di Rose has classic Barolo aromas of wild red berry rose petal camphor and spice. It?s smooth and delicious doling out wild raspberry strawberry compote star anise and black tea before a minty finish. Polished tannins and fresh acidity keep it impeccably balanced. While already tempting the best is yet to come. Drink 2028?2036. Abv: 14% Kerin O?Keefe
