2011 Produttori del Barbaresco, Barbaresco, Paje Riserva 1x750ml

Vinous 95

One of the highlights in this range, the 2011 Barbaresco Riserva Paje is also one of the most classic of these 2011 Riservas. Beams of underlying acidity and minerality give the flavors considerable thrust and brightness. Sweet mentholated notes wrap around a core of plush, red-fleshed plum and pomegranate fruit, leading to a brisk, refreshing finish. What is left to say? The 2011 Paje is absolutely gorgeous. It’s as simple as that. Paje is one of the cooler micro-climates the Produttori work with, and that was a help in 2011. [Antonio Galloni, 12/01/2015]
