Community Tasting Note

Sunday, September 24, 2023 - Another excellent bottle of this. I had a little bit of bad luck with some oxidized 2001s Produttori, but the 2004 are really beautiful and in a great place now. This is deep, layered and pretty complex, it has the signature slight austerity to it, but also beautiful notes of red and darker fruit, menthol, anise seeds, crushed violets, tar, some graphite, also some notes of cedar and pine. It‘s medium-full bodied, with medium+ tannin that is present, but beautifully integrated, there is nice medium-high acidity and very good length. A total beauty. I can‘t believe these wines were available by the case for $34 until a few years ago. There are still excellent value for top-notch Nebbiolo, but the secret is out. Probably my best Rabaja 2004 yet.
