The 1995 Castello Banfi Poggio all’Oro Riserva is a superb expression of Tuscany’s prestigious Brunello di Montalcino. Known for its elegance and complexity, this wine represents a true reflection of the renowned Banfi estate and its commitment to quality winemaking. It is crafted exclusively from Sangiovese grapes, grown in the Poggio all’Oro vineyard, which is one of the finest sites in Montalcino.
The wine displays a deep ruby red color with garnet tinges, indicating its maturity and the depth of flavor developed over nearly three decades of aging.
On the nose, the 1995 Poggio all’Oro Riserva is complex and inviting, with aromas of ripe dark fruits such as blackberries, cherries, and plums, complemented by hints of dried herbs, tobacco, and leather. There’s also an alluring bouquet of earthy notes, spice (particularly cinnamon and clove), and subtle nuances of vanilla and cedar, contributed by the oak aging process. The wine’s bouquet is rich and well-integrated, showcasing its time in both French oak barrels and bottle.
On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and remarkably smooth, with a perfect balance of tannins, acidity, and fruit. The rich dark fruit flavors continue, now enhanced with layers of dried fruit, chocolate, and a touch of balsamic sweetness. There is a marked complexity on the palate, with earthy, leathery, and spicy notes adding depth. The tannins are mature and well-integrated, giving the wine a silky texture that is both refined and powerful.
The finish is long and persistent, with lingering flavors of fruit, oak, and spice that fade gracefully. The wine leaves a memorable aftertaste, with the smooth tannins and balanced acidity ensuring that it has a lasting presence.
The 1995 Castello Banfi Poggio all’Oro Riserva is at a beautiful drinking window, showcasing its maturity and the benefits of aging. However, it still has further potential to evolve and gain additional complexity in the years to come.
