This red exhibits a mix of cherry, strawberry, orange peel, camphor, iron and tobacco flavors. Though backed by burly tannins, this remains linear and long, with the fruit returning in the end. Shows terrific balance and length overall. Best from 2028 through 2045. 800 cases made, 300 cases imported.

The 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà is redolent of dark fruit, crushed rocks, graphite, sage, menthol and lavender all race across the palate, supported by bracing, young Rabajà tannins that make themselves felt. This mid-weight, powerhouse Barbaresco packs quite a punch.
