CASTELLO BANFI Other Reds 2003

designation: Excelsus
vineyard: N/A
region: Italy - Tuscany
review date: 2007-12-31

Banfi

The 2003 Castello Banfi Excelsus is made of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot; deep dark ruby in color; wonderful floral nose of cherry and blackberry; palate showing a soft entry of ripe cassis and cherry fruit-forward flavors with a hint of spice; full-bodied and rich; beautiful mid-palette, lingering finish. Big tannins yet well proportioned to fruit. Drinkable now but best to hold until 2008 (PH).
