Tuesday, March 27, 2018 - 1998 Barolo & Barbaresco – A 20-year retrospective (AI Fiori): While the Asili was the vibrant and immaculate beauty, the Rabaja was the dark and muscled stallion. Here I found a slight restrained dark fruited bouquet with black cherry and hints of plum lifting from the glass, as dusty soil and mineral tones emerged. On the palate, it was rich and spicy, showing mineral-inflected black raspberry and tart cherry, while hints of slightly unresolved tannin settled on the senses. The finish was long and earthy with saturating black and red fruits, lasting minerality, and hints of tannin holding strong.
