Vinous, 97 points: The 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà is another stellar wine in this range. Dark and explosive the 2021 possesses notable richness to match its dark brooding personality. Black cherry plum leather cloves menthol licorice and gravel explode onto the palate. The 2020 will require a measure of patience but it has a ton of potential. 

Kerin O'Keefe, 97 points: Showing great structure and balance the radiant Rabajà entices with intense aromas of forest berry underbrush new leather and dark spice. It’s full-bodied and delicious, delivering succulent Morello cherry black raspberry and layers of dark spice. Firm tannins grip the finish. Drink 2026–2032. Abv: 14.5% 

Wine Spectator, 96 points: Like the Asili the 2020 Rabajà is in a class of its own. Rich full featuring cherry raspberry and rose flavors very fruity yet with a firm structure underneath. The tannins are dense and chalky here with graphite and stone on the finish. It is perhaps the richest of the lineup with fine detail and dimension. There’s breadth and depth to this red; its broad shoulders carry plum cherry licorice tar mineral and spice flavors all backed by a layer of dense dusty tannins. All of the components are in the right place yet need time to integrate. Best from 2028 through 2045. 

Wine Advocate, 95 points: In this vintage the Rabajà was served last in a series of nine Riservas; that's because it shows the most structure and power over a very defined and sharp mouthfeel. The Produttori del Barbaresco 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà is streamlined and tight and a wine of enormous energy. The fruit is crunchy and tight with cassis and blackberry. A pretty mineral note defines Rabajà, giving it a chalky or powdery sensations on the close.
