Tasting notes
The 2015 Barbaresco Rabajà is powerful, vibrant and energetic. Dark berry fruit, menthol, licorice and balsamic-infused flavors all develop in the glass. Medium in body and layered, the 2015 will benefit from another year or two in bottle. Even today, though, the 2015 is relatively open-knit for a young Barbaresco from Rabajà. A rush of spiced, mentholated notes fill out the finish nicely.

Barbaresco. Tasted blind. Maturing and just mid ruby with orange tinges. Brooding and a little closed and weedy on the nose. Really holding back on the palate too, or is this just because all the other wines have an abundance of fruit? Very slow to unfurl and with plenty of tannins on the finish, but the brooding fruit holds up effortlessly. (WS)
