Really good Pajana from Clerico in this excellent vintage that is 2004. Tell tale aromas of crushed flowers, great acidity and balance, medium length, great to drink now, will last like good Nebbiolo but I dont see potential for more. Recommended.

Flowers and licorice, but with a lot of tannic structure, it is fine now with food, but will be better with time.

Very decent drink. Typical of this producer but not as firm as anticipated, becoming mature more quickly than expected. Should last for at least a few more years but I would favor drinking sooner to enjoy its stuffing now.

Beast! Darkest Barolo I ever drank! Wine improves dramatically in the glass! Far from it's peak!

A little more oak than I care for, but it makes for easy drinking. Strawberry, dried figs, and florals with hints of vanilla. Tannins are soft.
