The Bruno Rocca 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà is a subtle and soft expression that brings us a very elegant and ethereal side of Nebbiolo. This wine is part of the Rocca family's relatively new Riserva program, and it's so exciting to be able to taste this controversial vintage now, with some distance. The bouquet opens quietly and without much fanfare to reveal a slow succession of dried berries, smoke, camphor ash and crushed stone. These qualities all grow with time as the wine takes on air in the glass. Those pretty mineral accents are its most distinctive quality. 95+ Points. Points: 95/100
