Banfi Vigna Marrucheto Brunello di Montalcino 2019

Textbook Sangiovese flavors of cherry, iron and sanguine add hints of menthol and tar to the mix in this sleek, tightly wound version. Pointed tannins leave their mark on the finish, but not before this plays out with intensity and vigor. Best from 2027 through 2043. Score – 95. (Bruce Sanderson, winespectator.com, June 30, 2024)
