Critic tasting note: "Rich, dark and muscular, with deep, jammy aromas of plum and blackberry. Banfi toes the line between modern and traditional, and this wine fits their model perfectly. It's a ripe, sizable mouthful, yet it has some true-life edges to it. Drink now through 2009." - 91/100, Wine Enthusiast

- Producer Tasting Notes
-
A rich and elegant Brunello, both in structure and in olfactory expression. Brilliant ruby red with garnet-colored reflections, on the nose the aroma is sweet and fruity, the hints of fresh red fruit stand out, which combine perfectly with the more complex notes of licorice and pipe tobacco. The structure is powerful, and the palate is pleasantly enveloped by a consistent tannic texture, well balanced by a pleasant acidity. Extremely persistent with excellent aging potential.

Vintage quality: Good
Current condition: Ready to drink
Good quality wines were produced from a hot year. Brunello di Montalcino wines were particularly well received. Any top 1999 Brunello Riservas still available should still be drinking nicely. However, as a ripe vintage there have been plenty of excuses to have drunk them...
