Castello di Bossi Corbaia 2001
Intense ruby red in color with garnet hues, Corbaia offers jammy aromas of black currant, cherry, and cassis backed by hints of tobacco, chocolate and coffee. On the palate, Corbaia is supple, opulent and complex with rich texture and chewy tannins nicely integrated in a full, round body. The perfect choice for rich fare such as wild boar, game, steaks, and roast beef. Also excellent with medium-aged cheeses. A massive and elegant Super Tuscan. Wine Advocate The 2001 Corbaia adds some black highlights to its full ruby color, and is even warmer and riper than the Chianti Classico Riserva. A Sangiovese-Cabernet blend, its well defined red and black currants aromas and flavor are given additional complexity by the notes of tar, graphite, and chocolate. Very solid, its intensity and its slightly chewy tannins indicate both a significant aging potential and a need of a bit more bottle time. Drink: 2005-2016. Score: 92. —Daniel Thomases, April 2006. |
