Delas, Hermitage Bessards Vintage:2014 The 2001 Barolo Pajana offers(aged in 70% new oak for 18 months), Inky ruby. Sexy, highly perfumed aromas of ripe dark berries, cherry liqueur, peppery spices and fresh flowers, backed by a hint of olive. Supple and appealingly sweet, offering intense, deeply concentrated blackberry and violet pastille flavors and a suggestion of star anise. Finishes pure, sweet and energetic on the penetrating finish, showing outstanding focus and slow building tannins. Josh Raynolds
