Castello Banfi Tasting Notes
Very deep color with garnet hints. Complex and sweet on the nose with delicate notes of jam, well integrated with plum and ripened cherry, as well as more spicy and typical notes of liquorice, tobacco and leather. Powerful structure, characterized by soft and sweet tannins; very persistent and long aging potential.

Wine Spectator
Smooth and round, this red offers cherry, bitter almond, spice and woodsy notes. The tannins are dense, but this is balanced overall and lingers on the finish. Best from 2013 through 2022. 45,830 cases made. —Bruce Sanderson, 93 points

Wine Advocate
The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is a beautiful wine laced with red berries, flowers and subtle hints of earthiness. Soft and supple throughout, the Brunello shows lovely juiciness in its fruit and a delicate, understated personality. The 2006 represents yet another step in the more elegant, refined direction the estate has taken in recent years. The 2006 Brunello was aged in equal parts cask and French oak barrels. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020. —Antonio Galloni, 90 points

Castello Banfi's 2006 Brunello opens with smooth and soft cherry flavors and is packed tight with background aromatics that include tobacco, cola, leather and more dark fruit. The wine's texture is silky, crisp and long-lasting. —Monica Larner, 92 points
