The 2011 Barbaresco Rabaja shows some of the heat of the vintage with ripe aromas of dried strawberry and raspberry in front of licorice, leather, tobacco and moist earth. It shows budding complexity that is somewhat lessened by the mature fruit. The mouthfeel is thick and supple with a point of heat on the close. The 2011 vintage does not reach the heights of 2010. Drink: 2016-2026.
