The dense ruby/purple-colored 1998 Barolo Pajana reveals copious new oak along with lead pencil, black cherry, blackberry, licorice, and earth aromas. This structured, powerful, full-bodied, chewy wine requires 2-3 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2016.

Score 91-94/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Saturated red-ruby. Sappy, delineated aromas of black cherry, rose petal and licorice. Sweet, dense, layered and deep; superb fruit framed by a rather powerful tannic spine. Very persistent finishing flavors of spicy dark berries supported by strong but fine tannins.
