The 1999 Barbaresco Riserva Paje is in some ways fresher than the 2000 Barbaresco Crichet Paje although it lacks that wine's sheer density. An exotic, compelling array of wild cherries, tobacco, sweet herbs and licorice all comes together in this sensual, well-articulated Barbaresco. The wine's balance and poise are remarkable. The 1999 Barbaresco Riserva Paje was made from vines that were more than 60 years old and spent five years in barrel. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2029.
