| 1997 Castello Banfi Brunello di Montalcino Montalcino, Italy WB Rating: 90 Alcohol by volume: 13.0% Price at time of purchase: $0.00 (Library wine) Type: Italian Red Principal varietal(s): Brunello clone of Sangiovese Brilliant purple color. Perfumed, cassis-dominated nose with an extra layer of oiled leather. In feel, very similar to a top Bordeaux, with cassis and dark cherry flavors, a rich and evolving attack, and youthful dusty tannins in the finish. Outstanding with beef. - HK 2002-12-25 [Back] |
