2022 Barolo Albe, G. D. Vajra
On this day it was 20 years since I made my first visit to Paradise, aka Piedmont. We were staying in Liguria and made a one day trip to Langhe. My first ever visit was to Luciano Sandrone but my second visit was to G. D. Vajra. I got to taste the 2002 Albe and wasn´t that impressed. But 2002 was not a good vintage in any shape or form.
20 years later and a multitude of trips to Piedmont have been made and to this day 121 cantinas visited.
The 2022 Albe offers up a cool, earthy nose with notes of paint, red tea, hard cherry candy and dry licorice.
The taste is young and tight with notes of red licorice, red currants, cherry pips and earth. A touch bitter on the finish.
