Tasting notes
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. Importer: Winebow, New York, NY; tel.

Sangiovese 70%, Cabernet Sauvignon 30%. 24 months in barriques. Dark crimson. Sweet and stinky. Rather ordinary and marked by oak and ripeness. Much less distinctive than the other wines though perfectly competently made. Dry tannins. (JR)
