The palate is very elegant

Dry and a bit tense after it sat in the glass for an hour

smoked meats and tilled soil with wafts of garrigue

moderate levels of acidity that segues to a very peppery and vivacious finish

the wine will require a bit of patience

Bruno Giacosa, Barbaresco Rabaja other_regions The palate is very elegantThe 2004 Barbaresco Rabaj is a total head turner. In this tasting, its only competition is the Asili Red Label. Even so, the Rabaj is an absolutely captivating, vivid wine from the first taste. Vertical and imposing in its sense of structure, with explosive energy to back things up, the Rabaj simply has it all. Scents of lavender, exotic spices and dark fruit add to the wine's total allure and seductive power. Antonio Galloni
