The 2001 Barolo Pajana offers up freshly cut flowers

I was already amazed at the unbottled sample

fruitcake and floral pastille flavors become more energetic with air and take on licorice and exotic spice notes on the back half

It remains slim and lively

This is also reduced but not so much that the spice elements are completely hidden

Michel Gaunoux, Beaune Rouge other_regions The 2001 Barolo Pajana offers(from 4 different vineyards). This is also agreeably fresh with a more refined nose of red berries, plum and violet hints. There is good detail and solid intensity to the seductively textured flavors that culminate in a balanced and persistent finish. This silky effort should drink well early but also age well too. 88 2016+
