Domenico Clerico, Barolo Pajana Vintage:2016 22% of which were newThe 2001 Barolo Pajana offers up freshly cut flowers, espresso, mint, leather, exotic spices and plums. The fruit still shows plenty of intensity and the tannins have softened, yet the Pajana remains a bit of a brute. There is enough fruit for the 2001 to drink well for another decade or so, but I don't see this ever being a truly elegant Barolo.
