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.
