2009 Langhe Nebbiolo
Buying options
Tasting notes
The 2009 Langhe Nebbiolo is a beautiful wine bursting with expressive dark cherries, plums and crushed flowers. This is a fairly generous, large-scaled vintage for the Nebbiolo. There is no shortage of intensity and sheer juiciness in the glass. Vajra's Langhe Nebbiolo will deliver considerable pleasure over the next handful of years.

The 2009 Langhe Nebbiolo is a beautiful wine bursting with expressive dark cherries, plums and crushed flowers. This is a fairly generous, large-scaled vintage for the Nebbiolo. There is no shortage of intensity and sheer juiciness in the glass. Vajra’s Langhe Nebbiolo will deliver considerable pleasure over the next handful of years. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2017. This is another superb set of wines from Aldo and Milena Vajra. What else is new? I am sure one day the Vajras will receive the broader recognition they so richly deserve. In the meantime, savvy readers know the exceptional quality these wines deliver for what remain very modest prices. Importers: Martin Scott Wines, Little Neck, NY; tel.
