Robert Parker, Jr., The Wine Advocate:  Rated this as "an outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character."

"The 2003 Barolo Pajana opens with extraordinary aromatics. Sweet and long, it reveals intense layers of ripe dark cherries, chocolate, spices and menthol in a powerful, authoritative style. It is a terrific effort in this vintage.   Drink now until 2018.

Few producers' wines have given me as much pleasure over the years as those of Domenico Clerico. Based in Monforte (Italy), Clerico has been turning out spectacular Barolos since the mid-1980s. I find a spirituality and character in these wines that puts them in a class with few peers.'"  The Wine Advocate, October, 2007.

Wine Spectator: Rated this wine as "outstanding - a wine of superior character and style." 

"Focused and very clean, with crushed blackberry and spices that follow through to a full-bodied palate, with hints of jammy and cedary character. Balanced and pretty, with a long, long finish. 830 cases made." Wine Spectator, October, 2007
