Tasting Notes 1: Antonio Galloni-96-The 2014 Barbaresco Rabaja is gorgeous. Powerful and explosive, the 2014 possesses stunning depth and intensity in all of its dimensions. Spice, menthol and orange peel give the 2014 a level of exoticism that is compelling, while beams of searing tannin announce the presence and pedigree of Rabaja. Intense, tannic and yet also very precise, with soaring structure and terrific persistence, the 2014 Rabaja is the best wine the Bruno Giacosa estate has made in many years.
Tasting Notes 2: Monica Larner-95-"This is the second year in which this wine was made with estate fruit (opposed to purchased fruit). Bruna Giacosa calls the 2014 Barbaresco Rabaja her a oelittle miracle wine."" The Rabaja cru is very close to Asili, but indeed, the two corresponding wines are extremely different in character. This expression offers black fruit intensity, with sharp and classic lines. Rabaja tends to be closed in its younger years and needs extra aging time before it finds its voice. The mouthfeel is dense, brooding and slightly austere at this point. Ten additional years of cellar aging should be considered at a minimum."
