2001 Giuseppe Cortese Barbaresco Vigna Rabaja
($42) Good full medium red. Raspberry, mocha, mushroom and sweet nutty oak on the nose. Juicy and moderately concentrated, with a restrained sweetness. Some nut skin notes (from old oak?) make this a bit dull for the vintage. Finishes a tad dry. (Winebow, Inc. Hohokus NJ
