2005 Paitin Barbaresco "Sori Paitin" 1.5L WS 93 Points WA 93 Points
Dense and concentrated, with lots of berries and cherry, with a cut wood
note. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a mouthpuckering finish. Needs lots of
time in the bottle to come around, but should be really outstanding in the end.
Best after 2013. 2,000 cases made. –JS
Unfortunately I was only able to taste one Barbaresco from Paitin this year,
but it is a gem. The 2005 Barbaresco Sori Paitin is a gorgeous wine redolent of
flowers, ripe red fruit and subtle French oak nuances. This Barbaresco offers
lovely overall balance, with well-integrated tannins and superb purity. Today
the wine is bursting with primary fruit and needs at least a few years in bottle
to develop its tertiary aromas and flavors. This is a terrific effort from
Paitin. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2025. (AG)
