Cinnamon, cedar, sweet pipe tobacco and leather are some of the nuances that emerge from the 2014 Barbaresco Pajè. Pliant and open-knit, the 2014 is surprisingly open for a young Roagna Barbaresco, which makes it almost shockingly easy to enjoy even now (in relative terms), in what is the very early going by Roagna standards. Even, so there is plenty of Nebbiolo structure and tannin. Sweet rose petal, mint, tobacco, underbrush, game, and sweet red berry fruit add to the wine's stunning allure.

The old vines pane. Old style barbaresco showing a lot of evolution. Delicate, feminine a bit smoked. Great wine.

Last of these for a while. Precise red fruit, licorice, spice. Young but tasty.

9.0 with lots of time to get better. This six years young 2014 was just starting to be accessible. Dark, gamey on the nose, subtle fruit, firm tannins and maybe some mint. Wonderful and looking forward to revisiting over 5-15 years

Um, yum. That’s a great wine. Great nose, smooth, slightest tannin grip. Fine wine.
