Barolo Ravera G.D. Vajra 2022 (1.5L)

93 Points, Kerin O'Keefe, KerinOKeefe.com: "The G.D. Vajra 2022 Ravera this is another impressive effort for the family's 2022 Barolos. It opens with aromas recalling grilled herb, new leather, camphor and forest floor that on the full-bodied palate transform into dried cherry, raspberry tart, bitter orange and licorice. Notes of dried sage and thyme linger on the finish alongside firm, close-grained tannins that jump in and leave a good grip. Drink 2028–2034. Abv: 15% Kerin O’Keefe April 2026" 04/26

95 Points, Jacobo Garcia Andrade, JamesSuckling.com: "Tea, hibiscus, orange rind, sandalwood and dried flowers. Really aromatic and absorbing. Medium-bodied, with a transparent, ethereal sense of fruit and a backbone of tannins that gives definition all the way to the end. Unique balance, from the famed vineyard in Novello. Better from 2029." 01/26

96+ Points, Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck.com: "The 2022 Barolo Ravera pours a bright medium red color and was bottled the same day as the Coste di Rose. The nose shows more depth and takes time to open, revealing notes of fresh cherries, graphite, and iron. On the palate, it has broader shoulders and firmer tannins, with greater mineral depth and richness. Drink 2026-2046." 04/26
