Bruno Giacosa, Barbaresco Rabaja, 2004
Bruno Giacosa was the modern benchmark of classical Piedmont, and Rabajà is one of Barbaresco's most respected crus, a powerful, structured site whose wines tend to favor density over perfume. This is a white-label bottling, which in Giacosa's language meant the standard release in a vintage where he did not declare a red-label Riserva, though many feel the 2004 Rabajà came very close to that line. 2004 itself is one of the great classical Piedmont vintages, a long, even growing season that produced Nebbiolos of structure and balance built for the very long haul. Twenty-one years on, this bottle is fully mature and drinking at peak, with the savory complexity that only properly aged Giacosa Nebbiolo can deliver.
