Wow. The 2017 Pajé from Roagna may be my wine of the (2023) year. Clear brick, almost tea colored. Chocolate, spice, menthol on the nose. Big mouth feel for a wine that doesn’t look or smell substantial or forward. Minerals, hints of red berry, tobacco, subtle tannins. Better with air. Nuanced, layered. Wonderful. — 5 months ago

Quite deep ruby , garnet , terracotta rim . Quite a lot of spice , red cherry , balsamic touch with orange rind and , touch of porcini mushroom , dark tea . Quite big and bold with , menthol , dark fruit , quite extracted , drying tannin. Ok finish , with some roasted chestnut character coming through. Needs time, better in 5-10 years and last well a further 7-10. — 5 months ago

Absolutely gorgeous tonight, with red label stardom, continuing to get better and better in the decanter wafting waves of roses, black cherries, exotic spices and tea leaves. It has immense richness but also so fresh and detailed. There is incredible density yet without weight. An amazing combination of power and elegance. — 7 months ago

An excellent big wine. Leather, dark cherry and claypot on nose. Acidic and big tannins. Tobacco, tar and black cherry with a long finish. Excellent! — 9 months ago

A reopening wine. Brilliant fruit, firmly structured, with slightly tart tones leading to a medium long finish. Happily paired with flatiron steak fresh from a kitchen other than mine. My first Paitin in fact. — 4 years ago

Wow. A really seductive nose with wild strawberry, dark tobacco and dense plummy fruit. Sweet and soulful but with a gloriously expansive middle. Really lovely stuff. — 5 years ago

Tasted a bit restrained at first, decanted in a travel bottle. Really started to open at dinner about a hour later and seemed to continue to open throughout the meal. It showed cherries, other fruits some dried and slight bit of tar. The finish was long and smooth to the end. Out to dinner with a group of wine friends so very busy and a lot of wines to taste but this one stood out to me. At Anthony’s in HH — 5 months ago

Group guessed youngest but was actually oldest among blind Nebbiolo. Brown waves with some heat. Dark and firm. Out of whack but still “young”. — 6 months ago

Some of the happiness may indeed be because I've been a little to Californian lately. Occupational hazard. This has got pretty violet aromas mixed with herbal notes of pine and faint rosemary. Palate reflects aromas, adding dried cranberries, leather and tobacco notes. Good tannic grip. — 10 years ago

Quite deep ruby , wide terracotta rim . Lighter and more elegant on the nose than the Starderi, porcini , lighter floral and slightly medicinal notes . On the palate rounder generous red fruits , with touch of liquorice , slightly medicinal notes . Quite sweet tannins , and refreshing acidity , good liquorice stained length. This too would benefit from a little more time 3-5 years perhaps , and will last well a further decade — 5 months ago

From magnum . Little darker ruby than the asili , slightly narrower garnet , terracotta rim . Darker quite ripe fruits , more medicinal , touch of tar and mineral length . Slightly more rustic tannin , good fresh acidity . Slightly darker anis tinged finish with good length. Quite austere and really young , needs time to open . Quite rustic , a bit of a brute ! Better in 5 years and will last a further 5-10. — 7 months ago

Brick in color. Nose is cedar, dusty fruit, and old leather. Just a little pungent. The mouthfeel is great. There is bright fruit and great acidity. Medium bodied. Strawberries, raspberry, cedar, and leather. Great tannins. The nose and end shows its age. I feel like I’m 2 years late to a great party. — 5 years ago
