A Toronto based consignor who began collecting wine in 2010. The wines brought to auction are from esteemed producers, both old and new world and were acquired from the LCBO, Iron Gate and Waddington’s auctions. All were stored in a temperature and humidity- controlled cellar.
The wine in this lot has a score of 95 from Robert Parker and the following tasting note -The 2001 Barbaresco Rabaja is simply the greatest wine from this vineyard I have ever tasted. Superbly rich with a potent nose of plums, dried roses, leather, resin, and spice, it is equally impressive in flavor, intense, warm, and concentrated, the packed texture and virile tannins perfectly balanced by the roundness of the texture and the polish of the finish. I would consider this a must purchase for anyone seriously interested in investigating the best in Nebbiolo from Barbaresco.
