Riserva Vigneti In Paje' Barbaresco Nebbiolo

So good with steak at Gino's!

Never had a bad bottle from this amazing producer. Classic Barbaresco in every respect.

Like a dummy drank this way to early. Still delicious

Delicious.... And yes, that's a velociraptor in the background. Family dinner.

Highlights from the W&S Top 100 tasting tonight.

Wonderfull! A bit closed on the nose but compensated by the mouthfeel. My last 2008 😢

This is soft-ish and rounder than I anticipated. Just lovely from the first pour. nothing angular or out of place. Lots of fruit still at 12 years old with some soft secondary notes emerging. Really wonderful.

Beautifull wine but couldn't get rid of the impression that this Paje was a bit "tired". Tertiary notes that I didn't expect for a PdB riserva at age 11...

In a beautiful spot right now. Superb nose, tannins resolved, wood not longer prominently present, still nice fruit and a long long finish. Everything is in balance and well integrated. Furthermore, still a long life ahead...

Intruiging, fascinating, had my eye on her all night...only an Italian is capable of doing this...such a beautiful wine. And according the critics one of the lesser Riservas of 2008. Still got the Ovello in the cellar and I'm looking forward to it!
