GD Vajra, Barolo Ravera Vintage:2018 leading to a minty undercurrentMore structured than the Bricco delle Viole, this comes from a 2. 2 hectare, south and south east facing vineyard and is a first release. Its got a bloody, almost iron like note on the palate, firmish but well integrated tannins and minerally freshness. The tannins need food (preferably a lump of protein) to take away their edge. One to tuck away.
