Two 78's from Produttori

1978 Produttori del Barbaresco, Rabaja, Barbaresco Riserva;
Ruby, orange rim. Black tea, bergamot, dark fruits underneath, quite intence, lots of fruit, but not layered, big structure and the fruit holds it well, very complex, and one have to love the flavours of the fruit. Really well made. 89

1978 Produttori del Barbaresco, Rio Sordo, Barbaresco Riserva;
Ruby with orange rim. More elegant, developed, some rose hips, warmer fruit, some leather behind, vanilla, not from oak, but vanilla seeds, great floral note. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins that still builds a wall, layered, elegant, this is getting there, very long length. Drink now, but will last longer. 90
