Robert Parker 93 points - The 2004 Barbaresco Pajore is a mineral-driven Barbaresco. Initially, it comes across as somewhat austere and clenched, but with air dark cherries, spices and violets emerge from this compelling wine. This is a big, structured Barbaresco with superb concentration and a finish that lasts forever. It will require bottle age, but will amply reward those who are patient enough to wait. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022. (Oct 2007)
Wine Spectator 95 points -
There’s an intense nose, showing classic aromas of dried roses, with very ripe strawberry. Full-bodied, tight and concentrated, with chewy tannins and a long, long finish. This really builds on the palate. The best ever from this producer. Best after 2012. 350 cases made. –JS
