I am really loving almost everything from 2015 Piedmont. Yes, these are clear baby kills, but they’re also way too much fun to drink right now

2015 Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco Riserva Pajè - Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barbaresco (7/21/2021)
Nose: This was decanted in the morning and drunk 12 hours later. The nose opened up beautifully with lush, red-fruited tones of cherries, wild berries, strawberries, crushed rocks, rose petals, sage, thyme, and some licorice notes. There is an immense amount of depth as this is a nose to just lose yourself in.
Taste: The feel is Full bodied with tart, high acidity and silky, high tannins. The tannins are a bit deceiving as there is a delicious ripeness to the fruit with red cherries, strawberries, wild berries, crushed rocks, rose petals, sage, and thyme.
Overall: This is is clearly young. But, there is a real vibrancy to it that is extremely enjoyable in this nascent stage. This has the feel of an 07-like vintage where it won’t necessarily be classic, but it will provide a lot of joy for a good while to come. I would absolutely love to see where this is at in about 8-10+ years time. (93 pts.)
