  My first of this fairly rare bottling, decanted for 6+ hours. I put this in a flight with a Monfortino and Bartolo Mascarello, thinking that its power and ageability would be put to the test. The wine was highly interesting and impressive, but a bit of an outlier relative to the other two. More strawberry than cherry, vibrant and energetic, with plenty of spice and a very expansive finish. Just entering its drinking window I'd think, with decades to go.

  Pretty, translucent ruby. Rose, very little tar on the nose. Super elegant, red fruited palate with very fine tannins. Blind guessers had trouble picking out Nebbiolo. (0091/1682)

  Floral, lightly balsamic aromatics. Elegance and restraint on palate, depth without excessive tannins. (0093/1682)

  Barrel and Bottle Tasting with Luca Roagna (Roagna Winery): (Barrel Sample) The nose was incredibly layered, showing crushed stone, dried orange, ripe strawberry, dusty spices, wild florals, and a hint of animal musk. On the palate, I found silky textures, yet vibrant as well, as dark red fruits, orange peel, inner florals, minerals, sweet spices, and fine tannin mounted on the senses, building energy and offset by brisk acidity. The finish was remarkably long and structured, yet fresh as well. It’s not often that I put something like this is writing, but the 2010 Crichet Paje may be a perfect wine. (98-100 points)
