Community Tasting Note

Thursday, October 21, 2021 - The 2013 Crichët Pajé is a monumental Barbaresco, but at the same time it appears to have wings and the ability to fly, weightlessly and gracefully. It posseses multiple dimensions and if it had a mathematical formula it would be full of numberless vectors, each one bound to a flavor and attribute. The nose is explosive and huge, activates all senses with scents of exotic flowers, lingonberry and earth tones. The combination of sensuality & grace with the typical 2013 brawn and the towering structure here is just unreal. The bouquet on the palate needs time to open up, but finds the connection to the tannic spine in the background effortlessly. Woodland berries, red cherry, lingonberry, rose petal, garden herbs, a mild balsamic infusion and sweet pipe tobacco fuse with a whiff of a fresh potpourri & musk. An omnipresent minerality lingers in the background and provides extra nuances. Impossible not to fall in love with this wine, as it happens with every vintage I tasted, now also the 2013.
