2013 Castello di Cacchiano Millennio, Gran Selezione - Chianti Classico - 5 Bottles (0.75L)

Millennio is a cult Gran Selezione from Castello di Cacchiano, a wine created in 1988 by the legendary winemaker Giulio Gambelli, the man who shaped Sangiovese in Tuscany (I had the opportunity to taste the legendary 1990 a few years ago, and what a wine). The 2013 rendition, a beautiful classic vintage, is full-bodied and built for the long haul, just becoming approachable now. It is very expressive and balsamic with a dense core of plum, cherry liqueur, raspberry, and notes of tar, sweet spice, leather and rosemary. The tannins were managed gracefully with a long élevage in large barrels. Drink now or hold. Stored in my natural, underground cellar with perfect humidity and temperature
