Score 92/100 · William Kelley (Robert Parker), Oct 2009

The 2006 Barbaresco Rabaja is a soft, beautiful wine. Initially somewhat reticent, with air the Rabaja opens up to reveal a profile of dark red cherries, tar, smoke and menthol. Despite its medium-bodied frame, the wine offers plenty of depth and concentration in a refined style. The Rabaja is aged in medium-size neutral oak casks. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2026. This is easily the finest and most consistent set of wines I have ever tasted from Cortese, particularly among the entry-level bottlings, where in the past quality has been irregular. A Leonardo Lo Cascio Selection, Winebow, Montvale, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620
