JAMES SUCKLING AND MARCHESI GONDI - TENUTA BOSSI

Marchesi Gondi – Tenuta Bossi gathers further accolades from the celebrated critic James Suckling.

Among the magnificent scores given to the Marchesi Gondi wines, the Chianti Rufina Riserva DOCG Villa Bossi 2016 stands out with 88, the Rosso Colli Toscana Centrale IGT Mazzaferrata 2015, with 91, the Rosso Colli Toscana Centrale IGT Ser Amerigo 2015 with90, the Rosso Colli Toscana Centrale IGT Fiammae 2016 with 88 and finally the Vin Santo del Chianti Rufina Riserva Cardinal de Retz 2007 with92.

You will recognise the Cardinal de Retz 2007 at once: it is amber in colour with intense tawny shades. Great olfactory intensity, with remarkable complexity and breadth of aromas. Soft notes of dried fig and apricot, almond, caramel, candied orange peel, date and chestnut honey close on sweet spice and a lightly ethereal finish. On the palate it is sweet, supple and round, both elegant and powerful. The balance is intriguing: a structure carried entirely by an elegant alcoholic note finds freshness in support. The finish is extremely long, echoing all the notes found on the nose, dried apricot above all.
