The 2004 Barolo Albe is a soft, forward wine perfect for near-term drinking. Sweet tobacco, herbs, licorice, leather and plums emerge from this medium-bodied Barolo with lovely grace and understatement. The Albe reveals notable clarity and length. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2016.
Vajra is one of Piedmont’s best kept secrets. Here readers will enter a world of sublime hand-crafted, artisan wines of the very highest level. Aldo and Milena Vajra’s passion comes through in spades in these terrific new releases, which I can’t recommend highly enough.
