Riserva Rabaja' Barbaresco Nebbiolo

One of the best vineyards to combat the symptoms of the warm vintage.

I wanted to take this one home to meet the parents.

Craving satiated. (And holy crap oenotri's list is full of nebbiolo scores)

2007, drinking very well.

Needs a few more years in bottle for wood to integrate

This bottle seemed tried and slightly acrid. I'll try another asap

A touch of Nebbiolo

The Italians have been making wine for a couple of thousand years now and they have really gotten the hang of it. If you want one of the more beautifully made wines in the world, this is a great start. Affordable and incredible in complexity, bouquet, and follow through. Great with cheese, pasta, or just hors d'ourves like cheese. Not to be quaffed but enjoyed almost every other way.

Thank goodness you're here - produttori a secret fave: closed and hidden but once she settles & opens up it's all good!

After the 1981 Margaux this was perfect, loved the structure and the tannins were "crunchy", with a sexy acidity that puts it in a different level.
