  The dark and earthy 2006 Barbaresco Rabaja opens slowly, wafting up with notes of tobacco that gives way to animal musk, balsam herbs, black cherry and hints of brown sugar. Its textures are soft, motivated by nervous acidity, as tart red berries and hints of sour citrus saturate beneath rosy inner florals. Adolescent tannins are left to linger, pinching at the cheeks with youthful poise, and reminding me that this sixteen year-old Barbaresco is still climbing its way to maturity. There's a sultry rusticity here that keeps me coming back to the glass over and over again, but the fact remains that the 2006 still needs time.

  Pre X Mas wine opening :) well well well... again this at a perfect spot, but needs much More time to open up... great nose of bramble and cinnamon, hint of smoke, perfectly balanced on the palate, with a juicyness and tannins stil pores et in the mid palate, absolutely magnificent at this moment... which is day 2... still. Tremendous time ahead of it... wish I had saved a dozen of those by that time... nice finish with just the perfect arm the after a day in the snow and backcountry skiing... love it again, and again...

  Cellaraid - Giuseppe Cortese Barbaresco Vertical; 5/15/2020-5/24/2020 (Delivered to Home): Pale garnet core and fading brownish edges. Aromas of rose, cherry, paprika, rosemary. Lots of acid and structure, and has even a rosy, lemon zesty feel, along with tomato, cherry, and mixed herbs. Roses and cherries remain at the back, with a fair finish
