Barbaresco Paje Riserva Produttori del Barbaresco 2014 (750ML)

94 points, Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Pajè is one tiny degree darker in color saturation compared to the expression from the Pora vineyard. (I tasted these single-vineyard Riserva wines moving up the intensity gradient in the order suggested by the estate). This wine offers a slightly softer, rounder and richer quality of fruit. On the palate, those red fruit flavors are long lasting and thick in textural richness. This wine is beautiful straight out of the gate." 06/19 Issue 243

96 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "Beams of minerality and salinity cut through a core of dense, dark fruit in the 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Pajè. Deeply pitched and tannic, the 2014 is a super-classic, youthfully austere Barbaresco that is going to need time to be at its best. Readers should expect a firm, structured Barbaresco. The finish alone is striking. Crushed rocks, minerals, sage and lavender add nuance to this chiseled, finely sculpted Barbaresco. Readers who can find it should not hesitate." 10/18

95 points, Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator: "Red Fragrant, this red reveals rose, strawberry, cherry, white pepper and mineral aromas and flavors. Sleek and elegant, with fine harmony and expression. The firm structure provides definition and drives the lingering finish. Best from 2021 through 2038." 06/19

94 points, Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast: “Violet, wild-berry and ground clove aromas take center stage while the medium-bodied palate shows juicy cherry, raspberry compote and star anise. Vibrant acidity and refined tannins provide an elegant framework. Drink 2021–2031. ” 06/19
