Barbaresco Paje Riserva 1998
Varietal: Nebbiolo
Maturation: 8 years and sometimes longer in medium-sized French oak casks. Then at least 2 years in bottle.
Suggested food: Matched with red meat, complex dishes, ripe cheese and pasta.
Best drinking: 2010 - 2025
Tasting notes / Review: Garnet-red colour. Rich and ethereal nose with a clear aroma, tobacco, spices, with an excitingly evolving bouquet.
"The 1998 Barbaresco Riserva Paje is a deep, penetrating effort, bursting with cherries galore along with notes of spices, licorice and menthol. Rich and full-bodied, yet supported by classic structure and big, imposing tannins, it is a vibrant, powerful Barbaresco that will require at least a few more years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2025." 91 pts, Antonio Galloni, The Wine Advocate.
