Tasting Notes

WA94

The Cortese winemaking moxie really comes through in the gorgeous 2010 Barbaresco Rabaja. Notable elegance and finesse characterize the wine both in the mouth and on the nose. It shows harmony and clarity with defined nuances of dried berry, cassis, spice, dried mint and licorice that lift beautifully from the glass. The fine texture and polished mouthfeel are especially impressive.

There's a purity of fruit to this young Barbaresco with loads of strawberry and rose-petal character. It's full-bodied, with ripe, silky tannins and very pretty berry and lemon-rind aftertaste. It needs at least three or four years to soften: better in 2017.
