"Aromas of naturally sweet red berries, vanilla and chocolate."

"Imagine pomegranate and strawberry braised with Provencal herbs; a fresh ocean breeze with madrone, pine, and oak trees. Velvety and voluptuous softness, a ripe peach-like roundness and built on an airy, sculpted tannin frame."

"The palate is well balanced with black cherries, peppermint, sage and a touch of mocha towards the finish that is pleasant, but lacks a little persistency."

"A deep garnet color with just a hint of purple in the glass. With notes of black raspberries, kirsch and blueberry preserves plus whiffs of potpourri and violets, it is full-bodied and richly fruited in the mouth. It has plenty of spiced red and blackberry flavors on offer with a medium level of velvety tannins and enlivening acid to sustain the long finish."

"The 2008 Corbaia is striking in this vintage. A delicate, graceful bouquet gives the impression of femininity, until layers of fruit hit the palate with relentless energy and focus. The 2008 impresses for its balance and overall sense of harmony. The tannins are still huge at this stage, but I sense that as they melt away the wine’s true pedigree will begin to emerge. This is a great, great showing from Castello di Bossi."
