2019 Castello Banfi Bolgheri Aska

Red Bordeaux Blend more

1/27/2024 - Metalhorns Likes this wine: 92 points

Deep aromas of leather, oak, smoke and jammy dark fruit meets a creamy mouthfeel that crescendos into medium tannins that hang on for a while. Really blooms impressively with a good decant. Everything happens synergistically here, and the nice bit of minerality adds subtle brushstrokes to this wonderfully earthy supertuscan's ouevre of bramble and woodland noise. Dark decadence from top to bottom.

Decanted one hour. Some tawny color intruding on the light red fruit color. Rich, almost baked, cherries, wet saddle, and wood notes. Tannins are quite smooth, with nice acidity. Medium-length finish. Doesn't compare to the '13 Argiano that we had the other night, but a decent BdM nonetheless.

Generally consistent with prior note. Found the sangiovese to be more muted this time, and overall palate more muddled. Very approachable and easy drinking if a bit nondescript this time around.

셀러에서 꺼내고 한시간 뒤 마셨음 처음 열고 바로 마시니 산미가 많이 튀고 밸런스가 전혀 안맞는 느낌이라 마시는게 힘들었음. 병브리딩 약 한두시간 뒤 마셨을때 산도는 누그러지고 검은과일 향이 지배적이었음. 풀리는데 까지 시간이 많이 필요하고 다 마실 때까지 기분좋게 마심

Still going strong after 14 years, yet fairly one-dimensional and quite alcoholic.
Pleasant on the eye, dark and dense, with just a flickering of ruby to note its age
Powerful on the nose. Still a few years ahead. That said, quite some alcoholic pugnency next to the dark cherries that is Sangiovese.
OK in the mouth. Fruit is there, licorice, alcohol as well. Refinement is missing, fairly one-dimensional.
Overall would have hoped for more complexity.

Lively wine open for business. Very much in line with the previous recent notes. Really impressed by the tanins structure, velvety yet structuring. In a good window now

Very deep fruit character, more on the darker side compared to other sangiovese based wine. The oak influence is felt but very integrated. Length is pretty decent and it finishes on the back palette harmoniously. Tannins are dry but the big fruit makes them interesting and elegant. Paid 13€ and I would buy 2 cases.

4/4/2024 - Gianni D Likes this wine: 90 points

Slightly murky medium garnet in color, with little legs. Very appealing bright black cherry nose but giving way to red cherry on the palate, and with enough complexity to make it very enjoyable. Medium acid and light tannin with a relatively short but pleasant finish. This wine is a great value and has been quite consistent over the years, a favorite everyday wine ever since I first tasted it at Castello Banfi long ago.

impressive aged Brunello ... still dark fruit along with earthy, light oak, mineral, tar notes and balanced acids and tannins - no brown edges at all on a deep dark wine ... nuances changing over several hours, but no fade to the intensity ... this wine has been cellared since purchase ... enjoyed in Italy (Sud Tyrol) and no one accused the wine of being too "American" or over extracted ...

Fragrant, enticing nose, almost floral, with pretty red and purple fruit and some savory notes; tart and bone dry in the mouth, with the fruit backing off into a long finish dominated by acidity and tannins. Not my favorite style for a Toscana, but pretty well made.

3/26/2024 - nidrvr Likes this wine: 88 points

23 mars 2023
58$
Tuscany, Italy
Décanté 45 min

Nez:

Fruits rouges, pas mal d'éthanol

Au goût:
Acidité: 3.5/5
Tannins: 4/5

Grenadine et fraise en début de bouche, le chêne arrive assez vite, et peut-être un peu trop fort, où l'age pourrait lui faire du bien.
En fin de bouche, confiture de fraises, délicieux.

Review: 88. Définitivement de mieux en mieux avec l'âge.
À racheter?: J'essaierais d'autres brunellos dans la même gamme. À essayer de faire vieillir.

5/21/2021 - owr Likes this wine: 90 points

Rich exciting wine with good acidity, plus coffee, cassis, vanilla, cedar and anise along with balsamic, blueberry, and smoke layers, all with a long finish. There is a spicy / acidity interplay here at about the hour and a half mark- but this wine proves to be silky smooth, but also maintains a spice edge with good acidity - there's also some mocha, blackberry, black cherry and cassis on the lingering finish.

Smells dusty and dried with notes of cassis and cedar, plus smoky, coffee and a little chicory. On the palate things move quick with notes of spiced-black cherry coming to the fore as it opens, then other dark fruits, and other complimentary notes, emerge: cassis, mocha, black cherry, blueberry, licorice, cedar, smoky - it just keeps on giving ... good wine to drink now - It takes some time to open and it peeks around the hour and a half mark, before slowly sliding into more tertiary flavours.

3/20/2024 - fhayek Does not like this wine: 85 points

Disappointing.
Upon pop & pour, it was actively bad.
In scent a super-intensive but artificial fruity element, in taste dumb and empty.
After ca. half an hour, it became drinkable, but barely so.
It's like a really heartless attempt at producing a new world wine in Tuscany, ending up being neither new world, nor Tuscan, but something ugly in between.
Banfi should not bring things like this to market.
