Castello Banfi Brunello di Montalcino is a wine of robust character. It possesses a rich garnet color, and a depth, complexity and opulence that is softened by an elegant, lingering aftertaste. Castello Banfi Brunello di Montalcino's regal qualities are best exhibited with game, red meats, roasts, hearty stews and rich powerful cheeses such as Parmigiano Reggiano.

Wine Enthusiast At 50,000 cases plus, this is as mass-market a wine as Brunello goes. But it's a darn good one, with tobacco, citrus and herbs on the nose. Runs a bit simple and grapy on the palate, but it's overwhelmingly ripe, healthy and full-force. Nothing tricky here, just clean cherry, plum and chocolate flavors sitting comfortably on a medium-to-full frame. Score: 90. —Michael Schachner, July 01, 2005.
