Castello Banfi Brunello di Montalcino 2001
Castello Banfi is a family-owned winery that is dedicated to producing high quality, authentic Tuscan wines. They favor a natural, organic approach, and have even pioneered clonal research on the Sangiovese vine to produce a more consistently excellent Brunello di Montalcino.
Wine Spectator
Loads of blackberry, currant and toasted oak. Full-bodied, chewy and rich. Long finish. This is big and rich. Best after 2009.
Score: 93.

Wine Enthusiast
Beautiful layers of cherry-berry, anise, menthol, cedar, minerality and damp clay form an intense and elegant whole. Medium structure with earth, tea-like flavors and a melange of berries preface a smoky, spicy finish.
Score: 91.
