Barolo Coste di Rose G.D. Vajra 2022 (750ML)

95 Points, Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The G.D. Vajra 2022 Barolo Coste di Rose is taut and elegant, with a glossy surface that acts as a sounding board to aromas of rose petal, violet pastille, candied orange and cassis. Coste di Rose is one of the highest and coolest crus in Barolo, known for producing especially fragrant and graceful expressions of Nebbiolo. I love the sharpness of the wine and the way it treads lightly over the palate, although the 2022 vintage is in fact a bit more structured and powerful than most. Fruit comes from a 1.5-hectare parcel inside the Coste di Rose cru with a high percentage of well-draining sandy soils that contribute to the wine’s finesse." 07/26

96 Points, Jacobo Garcia Andrade, JamesSuckling.com: "Floral, as is typical of this estate, with crunchy red fruit and rose petals. The palate is medium-bodied, with a blanket of delicate, tender fruit defined by chalky, precise yet silky tannins. Drinkable now with proper aeration, but will improve with some bottle age." 01/26

94 Points, Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck.com: "A youthful bright ruby hue, the 2022 Barolo Coste di Rose is fresh and minty with aromas of ripe raspberries and pressed roses. Medium-bodied, it offers well-defined ripe tannins, refreshing acidity, and an immediacy that retains great clarity. Drink 2026-2042." 04/26

94 Points, Kerin O'Keefe, KerinOKeefe.com: " Aromas of camphor, red berry, violet and cedar abound on the fragrant 2022 Barolo Coste di Rose from G.D. Vajra along with whiffs of fine blend pipe tobacco and citrus. Enveloping and full-bodied, the palate delivers fleshy Amarena cherry, vanilla, orange zest and hints of grilled Porcini before a licorice finish alongside a backbone of velvety tannins. Fresh acidity lends balance and lifts the finish. Drink 2028–2034. Abv: 15% Kerin O’Keefe April 2026" 04/26
