The 2005 Chianti Classico reveals perfume-laced red fruit with excellent length and freshness. This is one of the few 2005s that will benefit from another year or two in bottle. Anticipated maturity: 2009- 2015. Castell’in Villa is an excellent source for traditionally-styled Chiantis. The highlights of this line-up are the Chianti Classico Riservas, which are capable of developing gracefully in bottle for decades. Each year the estate re-releases a few of its older vintages, which gives consumers the rare ability to purchase lovingly-stored collectible wines with perfect provenance, something that has become all too rare in today’s world.
