Vajra G D, Barolo Bricco Delle Viole 2011 B.D.Viole

Vajra G D視自己為Barolo區中傳統派中的新派也是新派中的傳統派

Bricco Delle Viole這名字的意思正是 “The Peak of the Violets”

皆因葡萄來自地勢較高近400-480米的山丘，一部分來自朝東和東南方的葡萄園，另一部分則來自朝南和東南方，

這款Bricco delle Viole是酒莊從5桶酒中跟據優雅和通透程度而精選出來的旗艦酒款

她的確具備旗艦酒款的風範，酒的潛力不俗，剛下杯時已覺飄逸，典型的紅果香氣，Tar，玫瑰和些較鮮活的紫羅蘭氣息，收結帶點緩緩的甘草和涼果氣息，入口質感順滑但結構有點單薄，整體稍微欠缺點底蘊，隨着下杯的時間漸增，酒的香氣稍為減弱，儘管仍然保留點活潑的山渣氣息，但卻有點沉睡的傾向，或許年份始終稍新，酒有點進入熟睡期的跡象

A pure and comfortable gem! Pale garnet in color along with med plus intensity

Showing some fresh red fruits, roses and violet notes. Though the nosing is transparent and elegant, the structure on palate is a bit simple and straightforward. However, one will never overlook the smooth texture and the elegance of the wine. Perhaps it’s still too young for consumption.
