2018 Paitin, Barbaresco DOCG, Sori’ Paitin (RT 95) This longstanding flagship bottling for Paitin reveals drop dead, beautiful aromatics with multi layers of spiced marasca cherry, cranberry, sweet herbs, cedar and raspberry compote. The palate is finesse driven and reveals that attractive weightlessness that makes Nebbiolo one of my go-to varieties. The palate is sublime and alluring, bringing you back again and again for another sip with its perfect fruit/acid/tannin balance. Another outstanding achievement for Paitin in the 2018 vintage, this is a real thing of beauty with excellent aging potential. Drink 2025-2040+
