'All of the 1996 Riservas showed beautifully. It was hard to pick a favorite among this first set of wines. For the most part 1996 Barbarescos remain young, and still offer considerable upside potential. The 1996 Barbaresco Riserva Pajè combined elements of the classic austerity of the Rabajà and Ovello, but in a more linear and ethereal style. Sweet spices and menthol lingered on the finish in this beautiful Barbaresco.' Last tasted Apr 2009; Drink now.
