97 points Kerin O'Keefe: "Intensely fragrant, G.D. Vajra’s stunning 2019 Ravera features aromas of violet, iris, red berry, baking spice and menthol. It’s luminous, elegantly structured and focused, offering sour cherry, raspberry, star anise and crushed mint alongside taut, refined tannins. Drink: 2027–2044."
Wine Advocate: 97 Points
"The organic G.D. Vajra 2019 Barolo Ravera (with fruit from the most sought-after cru in the village of Novello) reveals gorgeous tonality and color. The wine shines bright with dark ruby and garnet gemstone. Healthy Nebbiolo colors like this can be admired across the 2019 vintage. Ravera represents a union of different geologies from Barolo and Castiglione Falletto. The site has shown extraordinary versatility, especially in the face of climate change, to make wines of both strength and elegance. It is softly textured but also strong in fiber, with silky sensations followed by dark fruit and concentration. Ravera has a character all its own, and the operative word here is power."
Wine Spectator: 96 Points
"There’s plenty of latent fruit in this this graceful and complex red, in the form of cherry, raspberry and plum, along with notes of flowers, tar, mineral and underbrush. Rich, balanced and long, this has well-integrated tannins that mingle with the ripe fruit flavors."
Vinous Media: 96 Points
"The 2019 Barolo Ravera is redolent of red fruit, mint, chalk, white pepper and orange peel. A Barolo of tension and energy, the 2019 is intensely bright and saline to the core. I would not dream of touching a bottle anytime soon. This is an especially taut style, even for Vajra. Drink: 2029-2049."
