Barbaresco Paje Riserva Produttori del Barbaresco 2020 (750ML)

95 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Pajè is a classic wine from this site. Deeply spiced and balsamic notes meld into a core of dark, sepia-toned Nebbiolo fruit. A Barbaresco of real presence and substance, the Pajè makes itself felt. It's one of my early dark horse favorites in this range from Produttori del Barbaresco. (Drink between 2025-2035)" 10/24

93 Points, Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The Pajè vineyard faces the Tanaro River and is tucked at back of a narrow theater of vines. The site is often characterized by a floral note of rose and violet that comes thought nicely in the Produttori del Barbaresco 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Pajè. With those sweet floral notes comes an open-knit mouthfeel and a more immediate drinking style with soft, silky tannins. In fact, this was the second of nine wines served in a flight that started with the lightest Riservas and ended with the most powerful wines." 01/25

95 Points, Kerin O'Keefe, KerinOKeefe.com: "The 2020 Pajè Riserva is a beautiful wine starting with its enticing scents of dog rose, violet, eucalyptus, new leather and white pepper. A bit firmer than Pora, the savory palate delivers juicy red cherry, strawberry compote, blood orange and wild herb before an almost salty finish. Fine-grained tannins provide weightless support while fresh acidity keeps it balanced. Drink 2026–2032. Abv: 14.5%" 09/24

94 Points, Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator: "is rich, even sumptuous, offering cherry, raspberry, blood orange and floral notes, squarely more on the fruity side than savory. Fleshy, firm and long, underscored by dense tannins..." 04/02/25
