Typical Banfi: black cherries and black pepper. Slightly metallic, rather flat finish. Not complex. Overall somewhat lacking. Probably past its prime; these Banfis are much better when they are two or three years old.

Not so good. fruits and a bit of a turpentine nose. Short on the finish, lack of complexity. Had much, much better wines in this price range such as Clayhouse from Costco. Would not buy again even as a "porch pounder".

This was my second bottle, and the experience was noticable better. Less tannic (probably because it was opened and allowed to air (but not decanted) for about an hour before drinking) and the fruit was more noticable. Still a little thin, with short finish. Went very well with pizza.
