"The 2017 Barbaresco Rabaja Riserva is a medium body wine with intense mineral and spicy aromas, balanced ripe tannins and elegant finish. Intense dark fruit on the finish." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà is a potent, searingly tannic wine that will need a few years to come together. Brooding and backward, even for young Rabajà, the 2017 is painfully young today. It will be interesting to see what time brings. Today, the 2017 is a real powerhouse. Black fruit, menthol, licorice, melted road tar, game and menthol develop in the glass, but only with great reluctance. Drinking Window: 2027 - 2039." —Antonio Galloni, Vinous |
