Barbaresco Crichet Paje Roagna 2013 (750ML)

98 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: “The 2013 Barbaresco Crichët Pajè brings together so many of the elements that make the Roagna wines so compelling today. In the past, Crichët Pajè was a huge, tannic wine. The 2013, on the other hand, is incredibly finessed. Sweet red cherry, rose petal, blood orange, cedar, kirsch and cinnamon are some of the many notes that grace the 2013. Sensual and silky, the 2013 is a drop-dead gorgeous beauty. There's real depth and substance here. What a wine.” 11/21

98 Points, Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator: "Beginning to mellow and reach its sweet spot, this red reveals rose hip, cherry, strawberry, currant and freshly mown hay flavors aligned to a sleek frame. This turns austere as it evolves on the palate, with the ripe fruit returning on the long, resonant finish. Elegant and harmonious overall, ending with the essence of ripe berry fruit, tart rose hip and mineral notes. Drink now through 2040." 12/21
