96+ points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "The Domenico Clerico 2015 Barolo Pajana opens to a beautifully saturated color with dark garnet and ruby highlights. Compared to the 2016 vintage that I tasted at the same time, this wine is more robust, structured and deeper. In some cases, I prefer 2016 to 2015, but this is one case in which the warmer vintage ushers forth a special and very attractive level of intensity. The bouquet is layered, multifaceted and fluid. Despite the many adjectives you could use to describe the bouquet, one thing does not change and that is the sheer intensity of this impressive Barolo Pajana. Drink: 2024-2050. (7/23/20)" 95 points James Suckling: "The riper sensations of red-plum compote and cherry kernel here are nicely mixed in with subtler nuances of dried rose petals and Chinese spices. These follow through to a full body, laced with polished tannins and finely judged, fresh red fruit. Quite long on the finish. Drink from 2023. (8/16/19)"
93 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$112 list] A tough customer, with big, burly tannins dominating any fruit at this stage. Nonetheless, this is not overly astringent, and may just need more time. Fresh and long on the finish. Best from 2024 through 2045. 200 cases made, 100 cases imported. (4/30/20)"
