Vajra’s Bricco delle Viole is one of those Barolos that inexplicably remains under most people’s radar screens. The 2000 is another outstanding vintage for this wine, which offers the classic rose, tar, menthol and licorice scents of Barolo, with great length, structure and finesse. It is all class and elegance. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2018.
