Cranberry jolly rancher. Blackberry. Peppercorn, roses. Rosemary-lardo. Good acidity. Has barley aged. Will get even better for the next 10-15 yr.

Sottimano fashioned a very nice wine with there 09 Pajore. I would love to pour this wine blind for people who see them as a modern/interventionist producer. Pure, refined (albeit young) Barbaresco.

Thick tannins and a tight grip on berry and dried herbs. A significant amount of wood poking through.

Elegant, firm tannins, still closed off even after a day open. Cellar and let develop
