Produttori del Barbaresco Riserva Rabaja' Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2009

Tawny mid crimson in colour. Aromas of menthol, tobacco, a little anise and new leather. Just medium weight with savoury red cherry and those aromatics coming through into the palate. Not as rich as I was expecting from a Rabaja Riserva which is generally considered one of the better individual Cuvées from the Produttori. Reminds one of how different Barbaresco is to Barolo. Hours later the menthol and tarry notes were persistent. Very good but not memorable.

Red cherry, a slightly creamy finish, with silky smooth tannins

Going to sleep. Lots of promise here, but entering the black hole of its adolescence. Check back in 2025.

Too young right now. Relaxed after a 2+ hour decant. Sour cherry, and dried fruits opened up to leather, spice, dried flowers, tar, and sweet wood tones. Tannins were a bit aggressive but complemented a rich oxtail pasta well. Great wine with greater potential can't wait to revisit in a few years.

Admittedly very young, but this is mightily impressive. Built like a brick shithouse and a beautiful one at that. Layered with brooding dark intensity. Can't wait to try in a few years.

Sweet red fruity nose. Fleshy and very firm. Tannins pronounced. $65

Stellar! Barbaresco is my thing, and every bottle I open is confirming that! Superb nose, elegantly inviting to the first sip, mouthfeel confirming the aromatic and fruity taste. Well done!
