1998 Roagna Barbaresco Pajé and 2004 Cantina del Pino Barbaresco Ovello
1998 Roagna PajéSmooth, almost silky mouthfeel with savory dusty tannins. Mellowed, aged fruit. Since this was a 375ml, it went fast with a nice selection of cheeses. Delicious 👍🍷2004 Cantina del Pino Ovello Uncorking the bottle presents a wine that has a very reticent nose and is still quite a tannic beast. I'm not sure if the fruit aspect of this wine will ever fully balance out those tannins. Old school stuff.However, after 6 hours of aeration in a decanter , hints of sweetness emerged from the structure, and since it is such a robust wine, it paired well with grilled ribeye steak.
