Brunello di Montalcino Poggio alle Mura Banfi 2021 (1.5L)

92 Points, Eric Guido, Vinous: "The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Poggio alle Mura is a rich blend of mocha and plum, revealing nuances of mint as it evolves in the glass. Juicy in character, it offers lifted textures and crisp wild berry fruits. The wine tapers off with impressive length, gently tannic with a sweet blackberry twang. (Drink between 2028-2038)" 11/25

91 Points, Kerin O'Keefe, KerinOKeefe.com: "Plum, violet and dark exotic spice aromas form the nose on the 2021 Brunello Poggio Alle Mura. Like its siblings from the vintage, this too is a compact, muscular wine and is rather reticent, with a palate suggesting black cherry extract, blackberry brandy and licorice before closing on bitter orange and the heat of alcohol. Velvety tannins provide support. Abv: 15.5% Kerin O’Keefe November 2025" 11/25

94 Points, Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The Castello Banfi 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Poggio alle Mura offers a silky entry to the palate, followed by good tension and energy, with fruit sourced from estate parcels closest to the castle walls that historically deliver greater precision. Although Castello Banfi has one of the largest vineyard holdings in Montalcino, this wine stands apart for its density, layered flavor profile and power (with a 15.5% alcoholic content). This is a release of 34,000 bottles." 01/26
