"The 2007 Barolo Pajana has clearly progressed to its secondary stage of evolution, its red fruit tinged with leather and mint, yet it has retained outstanding clarity and definition. The palate is well structured with vivid red fruit laced with tobacco and clove, discreetly fanning out toward the elegant, sophisticated finish. This has matured extremely well and has probably another decade on the clock. Tasted at the Vinous off-line dinner at La Trompette." -Neal Martin

"A tight-fisted, compact example, with cherry, menthol and spice flavors locked up by the stern structure. Stays fresh and energetic on the long finish, revealing its ultimate potential. Be patient."
