Castello Verduno, Barbaresco Rabaja Riserva other_regionsNA

a mixture of Mediterranean and Atlantic characters

Deftly plays richness off elegance and finishes impressively long and chewy

airy and nicely layered aromas of apple

As good as the prior grands crus are

Unctuous tannins

A ripe and less obviously exotic nose combines notes of various white orchard fruit

Cool and restrained

and they self-regulate to low tonnage

ground herbs

fresh and distinctly cool nose displays an elegant mélange of dark cherry

The balance between the varieties—and the classic push/pull of sweet and savory—is more harmonious this year than in any I can remember

This concentrated effort is very Chambolle in basic character
