Tasting - Banfi 2011 Brunello di Montalcino

Name: Banfi 2011 Brunello di Montalcino
Variety: Sangiovese
Region: Brunello di Montalcino, Tuscany
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
Price: $80.00

Winery Review: This opens with aromas that recall leafy underbrush, grilled porcini and mature dark-skinned fruit. The taut palate offers dried black cherry, coffee, sage and anise alongside tightly wound tannins that give it a firm finish. - Wine Enthusiast, 89 pts

My Review: Black cherries and earthy notes are prevalent in this wine. It has a crisp taste with subtle tannins and is surprisingly smooth yet bold. Very high quality wine, and you can taste it.

With/without food: I tasted this on its own without food.
