Score 89/100 · Drink 2002-2011, Robert Parker, Jun 2001

Pasquera's structured 1997 Barbaresco Sori Paitin reveals more tannin and austerity than expected for this vintage. This is an excellent effort, offering notes of tobacco, spice box, licorice, and cherries as well as a touch of herbaceousness. Medium-bodied and firmly-structured, it requires another 1-2 years of cellaring, and should age for a decade or more.

Red-ruby color. Pungent, penetrating floral/minty nose. Very intensely flavored and high-pitched; dark berry and mint flavors are given brightness and shape by firm acids. Quite stylish for a '97. Long and firm on the finish.
