97 Wine Spectator – This pure red features cherry raspberry rose and licorice flavors underlined by mineral and tobacco elements. Taut and linear with the essence of fruit floral and mineral notes showing terrific harmony and length on an elegant frame.
96 Vinous – The 2018 Barbaresco Pajè Vecchie Viti is graced with striking inner sweetness. The Vecchie Viti is powerful and deep but not in an obvious way. It has more inner sweetness and also more structure than the straight Pajè but also less overt depth as odd as that might sound. I especially admire its freshness. It will be interesting to see how this develops in bottle.
