I was lucky to taste the Roagna 2005 Barbaresco Crich?t Pajé from magnum. This wine will take you on quite a long journey with a multifaceted bouquet that has moved squarely into tertiary definition. Dried fruit and dark currant appear, but most of the experience relates to aged tones of rusty nail, crushed flint, dried herb, rosemary essence and camphor ash. There are hints of dusty white pepper and more of that metallic iron ore. You feel the power of Nebbiolo on the close. This vintage of Crich?t Pajé has never been previously reviewed in this publication, and it's terrific to see how well the wine is holding up.
