Only 1,348 magnums of the 2014 Rabajà Riserva were made, and this is one of them. It's single-vineyard Barbaresco from the cru Produttori del Barbaresco says produces a quintessential Barbaresco, one of the most complete and balanced sites they bottle. The Rabajà Riserva isn't made every year (it skipped 2010 and 2012, for example), and they remain among the best values for cellar-worthy wine anywhere. The producer describes 2014 as a medium-bodied, elegant year with intense floral aromas and ripe, balanced tannins. That makes it more about perfume than muscle, which suits a cru known for finesse. The fruit comes from vines owned by nine of the co-op's member families: Antona, Arossa, Casetta, Lembo, Lignana, Manzone, Rocca, Vacca and Vezza. The producer gives it 20 years from the vintage, and the magnum, the format collectors prize for slower aging, makes a proper centerpiece for the table. The label is bin-soiled, which is a cosmetic flaw on the outside of the bottle.

Antonio Galloni

96 points

"The 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà is powerful, dense and explosive, with tremendous intensity of fruit and structure. The Rabajà is dark and potent – as all these wines are – but the tannins and acids give the wine considerable tension and energy. The Rabajà is a powerful, towering wine endowed with massive structure and intensity to burn. Like so many of these wines, the Rabajà is somber and brooding in feel." —Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

"The 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà shows excellent textural richness with dark fruit, followed by notes of tobacco and tilled earth. Black truffle and dried fruit converge on the bouquet to add to the intensity. You really appreciate the freshness and sheer power of this succulent, well-structured and medium to full-bodied Barbaresco. This one's the real deal." —Monica Larner

Jancis Robinson

"A shade deeper and a little more developed than the Muncagota Riserva. Deep nose of strawberry and iron with a cool edge in spite of its concentration. Minerally raspberry fruit with a linear core of acidity and more than a hint of iron. Firm layer of coating tannins while the linear, perfumed raspberry fruit is elegant as well as concentrated. Gorgeous vibrant finish."

"This red is opulent and lushly textured, providing a backdrop for pure cherry, black currant, floral and graphite flavors. There is a firm grip and plenty of energy here, building to a long, mineral-tinged finish."

Kerin O'Keefe

97 points

"Forest floor, new leather, rose and red berry aromas mingle with a whiff of camphor. Youthfully austere, the taut palate shows serious aging potential, presenting juicy cherry, cranberry, star anise and orange slice set against tightly knit, noble tannins and firm acidity. Drink 2022–2034." —Kerin O'Keefe
