Tasting Notes 1: Antonio Galloni-93-The 1998 Barbaresco Crichet Paje is the estate's top bottling from its home vineyard and this selection does not disappoint. It is an awesome effort, revealing a dark violet color and heady notes of menthol, mineral, black cherries, chocolate and cocoa along with masses of dark fruit that coat the palate with notable intensity as well as precision. This big, weighty Barbaresco is seriously in need of additional bottle age and should drink well to at least age 25.
Tasting Notes 2: Stephen Tanzer-90-Saturated deep red. Brooding aroma of dark cherry, marzipan, tobacco, menthol, iron and nutty oak. Dense, rich and sweet in a distinctly chewy way. There's something downright old-fashioned about this sexy, scented wine, which offers flavors of red fruits, fresh herbs, menthol, leather and decadent underbrush. Finishes with substantial dusty tannins. This is just about accessible now but should evolve positively for years.
