Expert Reviews - Vintage 2021
Walter Speller writes: Lustrous, concentrated ruby with the beginning of orange tinges. Deep nose of cherry and raspberry fruit and stony notes. Gorgeous, lush, tangy sour-cherry fruit with tannic bite on the finish. Drinking 2024 to 2030. - Jancis Robinson 17+
Bruce Sanderson writes: This bright red is saturated with cherry, raspberry, graphite and tobacco flavors, lifted by dense, well-mannered tannins that leave an impact on the finish. Fresh and focused. Best from 2027 through 2042. - Wine Spectator 93
James Suckling writes: Aromas of red plums, dried lavender and new leather followed by forest floor, dried orange peel, and a hint of terra-cotta. Medium-bodied, firm yet fine-grained tannins with crisp acidity. Subtle mineral finish. Nice depth with layers. From organically grown grapes. Try after 2025. - James Suckling 92
Monica Larner writes: The organic Castello di Bossi 2021 Chianti Classico reveals tart cherry aromas with sweet earth and hints of pressed rose over a mid-weight mouthfeel. Although the finish is not especially long, this easy-drinking wine makes good on a promise to showcase freshness and bright primary intensity. There's not much more to ask from an entry-level red such as this. Drinking 2024 to 2026.- Robert Parker Wine Advocate
