"The 2010 Barbaresco Pajorè jumps from the glass. An exotic melange of spice, tobacco and new leather hits the palate, followed by waves of intense dark fruit. Today, the Pajorè is the most implosive and closed of the wine's but the sheer depth and richness of the fruit are compelling. Still, it is impossible to miss the wine's exceptional finesse and power."

"Good bright dark red. Slightly balsamic aromas of cherry cola, dried spices, cedar and cigar box, with some suggestions of very ripe fruit. Lush, round and silky but less showy and aromatic today than the Cotta. Less primary fruit and more soil and tobacco here, supported by firm limestone-driven acidity. Finishes with dusty tannins that reach the front teeth, and a building sweetness that leaves behind nuances of herbs and spices." 92+

A round, supple version, with cherry and berry fruit shaded by spice and tobacco notes. Firms up as the tannins assert themselves on the finish, but stays long and fresh. Best from 2016 through 2030.
