Castello Banfi Summus 2007 Red Wine (IGT) Revisited, $47.59-$59.99, 90 points, poured an opaque ruby red grading brighter towards the clear wine ring and fat legs.
First whiff was a bit funky but developing toasty black fruit with hints of cedar box, cocoa powder, and dusty citrus notes were okay.
This seventeen-year-old IGT showed full-bodied, still softly but supportively tannic with fair to good acidity, sleek round mouthfeel, and complex flavors with rising stars of java and red pepper.
Finished long on the trailing palate, iron notes, anise, and that big 14.5% alcohol.
Paired fine with my spice-rubbed strip steak.
Current price is $79.99.
