A very pleasant Nebbiolo. The hallmark roses and tar are there, with crunchy red fruit. Soft and balanced, light but not thin. Excellent value. There's a cheaper Vajra Langhe Rosso, but that was too thin and acidic for me.

Sour but pleasant... 21.99 on 2/17 G. D. Vajra Langhe Nebbiolo 2013 90+/100 - Our Score 90/100 - Vinous, Antonio Galloni (12/2015) "The 2013 Langhe Nebbiolo is a beautiful example of the vintage. A dark, inviting wine, the 2013 possesses striking aromatics, expressive fruit and a classic, mid-weight feel. Sweet red cherry, plum, spices and licorice inflections add the closing shades of nuance. The Nebbiolo is a blend of mostly fruit from Sinio, which is just outside the Barolo appellation, in a spot where some growers sourced fruit for their Barolos in the days when there was less regulation. Young vine fruit from both Bricco delle Viole and Ravera rounds out the blend."

Cherry, tobacco and black licorice. On the palette comes the feeling of a huge wine but the tannins finish out beautifully. Great go to table Nebbiolo.
