The 2001 Barbaresco Crichet Paje comes across as very young, but then again it was only bottled August 2010! Freshly cut flowers, licorice and mint are some of the notes that flow from this vibrant, perfumed Barbaresco. The 2001 fleshes out beautifully in the glass. It is a towering wine that can be enjoyed within the next few years, but ideally it is best left alone for as long as readers can be patient. This is a fabulous showing from Luca Roagna. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2031. Luca Roagna released his 2001 Crichet Paje just last year, so it might seem odd to include it in this retrospective, but I never miss a chance to taste these wines. Roagna’s Baroli and Barbareschi remain some of the mos traditional, old school wines in Piemonte. Importer: Louis/Dressner Selections, New York, NY; tel. (212) 334-8191
