Stylistically the 2007s remind me of the 1997s in terms of their opulence
Guidalberto was richer and more voluptuous in style than Sassicaia
(from three separate plantings that have an average vine age of ~35 years)
the Gavarini Chiniera exudes richness from the get-go
The 1997 clearly belongs in this flight of milestones
Roagna, Barbaresco Crichet Paje Vintage:2014 Stylistically the 2007s remind me(this special bottling, from a 0. 5 hectare plot of 65+ year old vines at the top of the Paje vineyard, was previously made in 2001 and 2002; bottled in August of 2013!), Medium red. Ineffable nose combines plum, mocha, tobacco, humus and truffle. A lush, spicy midweight with uncanny retention of spicy red cherry and redcurrant fruit. Finishes juicy and imploded, with crunchy wild ripe strawberry flavor and outstanding juicy energy. Shows less body
