2005 Produttori del Barbaresco Riserva Rabaja, Piedmont

93 pts - Antonio Galloni

'A dark, powerful wine, the 2005 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà is one of the few 2005 Riservas that could use a few more years in bottle, as the tannins remain searing. Still, all the Rabajà comes through loud and clear. Black fruit, graphite, smoke, licorice and melted road tar are some of the signatures. The Produttori's Rabajà is often a big, muscular Barbaresco. That is exactly what readers should expect with the 2005.' Last tasted Jun 2016; Drink 2020.2030.
