A good use of oak across the entire range of Banfi in 2010-2011. Very classic in style and true Sangiovese character. Excellent!

This was a fantastic wine. Nose is hard to discern. But after a 30 min decant, the wine opens beautifully to ripe blue fruit, blackberry and hints of red fruit. Lovely mouthfeel. Just easy drinking, great ripe fruit forward wine. I see why JS gave it a 99. Loved it!

Solid. Deep cherry and super bricked color. Likely needed more ar time to shine.

v08. So good...Soft rose and smoked meat nose. Rich, juicy, tar and black fruits. Smooth, slightly tight, chewy leather and chalk finish. Nicely balanced and great food wine.
