Score 95/100 · Drink 2007-2020, Robert Parker, Oct 2001
A terrific Barbaresco is the 1998 Rabaja. Complex notes of soy, earth, candied cherry fruit, and cigar box emerge from this concentrated yet intellectually challenging effort. Full-bodied, with a soft attack as well as a tannic finish, it will be drinkable between 2007-2020. A Leonardo Locascio Selection, Winebow, Hohokus, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620
