2019 Domenico Clerico Barolo 'Pajana'

96 Points Audrey Frick, jebdunnuck.com (May 2023)
Tasted side by side with Ciabot Mentin, the 2019 Barolo Ginestra Pajana is pure and ripe, with a bit of a darker tone comparatively, offering notes of cherry liqueur spiced with rosemary and rounded, floral tones. Medium to full-bodied, it is persistent, balanced, and concentrated, with ripe tannins, an even spine of acidity, and a long finish. With its notes of ripe raspberry, sweet herbs, and fresh soil, this is an impressive Barolo to drink 2024-2044.

Aromas of raspberries, cherries and orange peel follow through to a medium to full body, with firm and very fine tannins that are chewy but fine grained.

The front of this bottle now lists its MGA provenance, Ginestra. The Domenico Clerico 2019 Barolo Ginestra Pajana shows a more open initial impression (next to the Ciabot Mentin) with soft black fruit. The wine makes a bigger impact in terms of texture with firm structure and silky tannins. It is just a little more open-knit and accessible. Some 5,000 bottles were released, and for the first time, Pajana is aged only in large oak casks.
