“Packaged in a precious 375-millileter bottle, the Castello di Bossi 2007 Vin San Laurentino pours forth with thick viscosity and a dark, almost brown amber color. That color comes from the DNA of the grapes, that in this case are a blend of Sangiovese and Trebbiano aged for a very long nine years in small oak barrels called ‘caratelli.’ The bouquet is nothing short of explosive in intensity with maple syrup, brown sugar, molasses, raisin and apricot syrup. Toast, spice and vanilla bean (the kind that sticks to your fingers) are woven tightly into the beautifully rich, and softly sweet finish. It’s hard to assign a drinking window to a wine that is basically indestructible.”
