The 2012 Pajè VV is a beauty. Layered, elegant, nuanced but not lacking in power. Tart strawberry, humidor, baking spices, rose and more. Still vibrant with years to go. — 2 days ago

Medium ruby with an evolving edge; cigar box on the nose along with red and black fruits; palate still very intense with red and black fruit, some balsamico and a grippy, somewhat astringent finish. Drink up? At Vini Emidio Pepe. — 4 months ago

The 2015 Nerello Mascalese Vigne Vecchie is simply stunning, erupting from the glass with a burst of crushed black cherries, cloves, blood orange and hints of dusty earth. This is soft-textured, nearly fleshy in feel, with a core of tart red berry fruits offset by sour citrus as rosy inner florals form toward the close. It finishes with staining length and concentration, just lightly structured, leaving a sensation of hard red candies to fade. This is a vibrant vintage of Vigne Vecchie, but it possesses the balance for further evolution. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2024)

Tecce night with Mom! So great to have this again. Big, bold, rich, tannic Aglianico. Dark intense berries, volcanic and metallic with a complex earthy, herbal finish. A little floral, a little licorice. With tomato mozzarella gnocchi and chicken strips. — 2 months ago

Bright Ruby with aromas of dark fruits, spices, oak and floral notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and sweet plum with notes of herb pepper, tobacco, cedar and cacao. Long finish, nice balance with fine soft tannins, ending with oak and earthy notes. Needs a few more years in the bottle! — 6 months ago

Rustic, red fruit with some earth; some of that aglianico clovey, orange peel herbal quality. But also hoisin and muddy notes; a bit volatile. Not as pristine as the Mastroberardino from the same vintage. — 5 years ago
