Best QPR in Piedmont?
| Reposting because original was removed. These are becoming my two go-to Barolos for highest QPR. The Vajra I feel is pretty commonly suggested to punch higher than the price. The Vietti is a staple producer and is hard to go wrong. For between $35-$45 it’s hard to beat this. Do you have any suggestions that you feel are better for high QPR in this region? Notes: I had these both earlier today so I have to off memory so my post doesn’t get removed. Vajra: classic brick Barolo color, bright red cherry, rose, tar, slight licorice. Medium high tannin, medium high acidity. Lots of fresh red fruit, well balanced. 92. Vietti: Slightly more ruby than brick. Also lots of bright red fruit, tar, almost a meaty scent as well to it. Extremely smooth tannins balanced with a bright acidity. Well balanced and potential to cellar. 93. The 2020 year so far is close to 2019. Seriously a great vintage so far, lots of depth and potential to cellar. Still very young but the Barbaresco’s and Langhe Neb are drinking beautifully now. [link] [comments] |
