Maybe it needs decanting. 2017. I honestly find it lacking in true brunello character. Solid but it could be a decent Keyonte too.

Elegant Banfi in a hot and dry year, high alcohol but not overbearing. Plenty of red fruit but missing the structure of a 2015/26. Good pasta wine to drink now.

Solid Brunello. I think the first vintage I ever had of this was a 2004.
