I thought about pouring this one through the aerator, but instead just let it breathe for an hour before tasting. The nose is quite complex, with a lot of different aromas going on that it almost makes you dizzy, there is a lovely smoky aroma that pervades the nose, with hints of dark fruit, leather and oak, and then there is a sudden twang of ...

When word of the Italian Wine Masters tasting hit my inbox, I was quick to hit the reply button.In the years I’ve been writing and attending tastings, I don’t recall ever attending a more comprehensive tasting of Sangiovese-based wines from Tuscany than the IWM. Everything from Chianti Classico, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Brunello di Monta... Read More

Enjoyed this 26 March, 2011 (with excellent Mexican horse fillet). Have had this in my cellar since 2006, so some 5 years. Very dark and still intense.

My friend has been learning more about wine recently, and was really ecstatic about this bottle. I told her that she has expensive taste and she's going to have to spend abo... Read More

The 2006 Banditella Rosso di Montalcino is like a 19 year old farm girl...maturing but not quite at her peak, supple and easy, lacking real complexity but spicy and satisfying nonetheless. One can't help but stare at her beauty, admire her strong alluring legs, and breathe in her aura. I'll be back for more. Read More

Tasted this wine 4 times till now. Never really impressed. Complex on the nose with incense and vanilla as the primary aromas together with some berries. Tannins well integrated with a long finish however the palate was a bit disappointing. Not what you would expect from a brunello (Seemed very thin and vegetal) I'm not sure I would agree with t...
