G.D. Vajra-ALBE, 2021 Barolo DOCG, $34.99-$41.99, 93 points, poured a rustic pomegranate red with copious sticky and stained legs and a broad clear meniscus.
The aromas vacillated between competing notes of flowers, perfume, red fruit, and hints of mint and milk chocolate.
This 2021 Barolo was medium-bodied, bone-dry, showed bright acidity, supportive fine grain tannins, very hot and spicy, and a tasty red cherry, lentils, black tea, and mint leaf flavors.
Finished long and spicy with a big 14.5% alcohol.
Paired fine with my grass-fed burger.
This is not a wine I recommend for soft Malbec/Merlot lovers stuck on soft round easy gulping red wines.
