The palate is smooth and rounded with good weight

at the edge of the Himalayas

It s hard to know where to start with the San Rocco

5 hectares of the 20-hectare single vineyard

but the purity of the fruit is impossible to miss even at this early stage

Domenico Clerico, Barolo Pajana Vintage:2007 The palate is smooth andThe 2001 Barolo Pajana offers up freshly cut flowers, espresso, mint, leather, exotic spices and plums. The fruit still shows plenty of intensity and the tannins have softened, yet the Pajana remains a bit of a brute. There is enough fruit for the 2001 to drink well for another decade or so, but I don't see this ever being a truly elegant Barolo.
