  Deep ruby with garnet ring.
  Med+ intensity on the nose, capsicum, mint, leafy, tomoto paste, black currant, toast, mocca, bay leaf, herbs.
  Dry, high acidity, high alcohol, high tannins (chalky), med+ body, med+ intensity, cherry, herbs, capsicum, tomato paste, not as concentrated as Banfi poggio BDM we tasted side by side. Med finish, the notes dropped dramatically after 5 seconds.
  Though it has a med finish, considering overall performance, we still rate it as a very good wine.

  A visit to Castello Banfi: Juicy, with nice fruit, intense and solid, spicy, a touch oily, balanced and harmonious, well made.
  Usual blend of Sangiovese 40%, CS 35% Syrah 25%.
