2006 Il Borghetto, Chianti Classico Riserva, Bilaccio (RT 94) 100% Sangiovese, aged 18 months in barrel, 7,000 bottles produced. From the highly structured 2006 vintage, this shows an expected tautness and hardened frame, as a hint of barrel still shows. Bright red cherry, strawberry and bilberry lead to a luscious, weightless mouthfeel. Here the house style shows in spades as sweet, succulent ripe tannins coat the palate. This has many years of excellent drinking ahead and will outlive the 2007. Drink now-2032+
