Score 90/100 · Drink 2013-2019, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2008

I was a little surprised withthe forward nature of the 2004 Barbaresco Rabajà. The wine reveals a layered expression of dark fruit, leather, tobacco and spices in a soft-textured style for this wine. Quite honestly I expected a little more from this bottling, which has been one of my go-to Barbarescos in this price range for years.

I was a little surprised with the forward nature of the 2004 Barbaresco Rabaja. The wine reveals a layered expression of dark fruit, leather, tobacco and spices in a soft-textured style for this wine. Quite honestly I expected a little more from this bottling, which has been one of my go-to Barbarescos in this price range for years. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2019. From top to bottom this is very strong set of wines from Cortese, something I haven’t always been able to say. A Leonardo Lo Cascio Selection, Winebow, Montvale, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620
