The 2013 Barolo Bricco delle Viole from Vajra is another surprise. I was not expecting such a potent wine, but the 2013 appears to have gained considerable weight and power since I last tasted it.

Barolo commune. Autumnal scents, real mulch. Then very sweet on the front palate and transparent.

The 2013 Barolo Bricco delle Viole is a real head-turner. Sweet, perfumed, vivid and exceptionally beautiful, the 2013 is simply stunning. A wine of exceptional finesse and sensuality, the 2013 hits all the right notes. Today, the 2013 reminds me of the 2008, but with more depth, density and creaminess - especially through the middle - and slightly redder fruit tones.
