About this bottle
Banfi ExcelsuS 2014 is a Super Tuscan red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from Castello Banfi's estate in Montalcino, aged roughly eighteen months in French oak barriques before further bottle aging. It shows the dense, structured style typical of the label — ripe black cherry and blackberry up front, layered with cassis, dark chocolate, and espresso, backed by firm, well-integrated tannins. The finish runs long, carrying notes of tobacco and toasted oak well after the last sip. This is a bottle for someone who wants a serious, cellar-worthy Tuscan red and doesn't mind giving it time to breathe or a few more years in the bottle.
How to drink Banfi ExcelsuS 2014
Decant this one for at least an hour before pouring — a decade-plus in bottle means there's sediment and dormant fruit that needs air to wake up. It's built for the table: reach for it with a grilled ribeye, braised short rib, or an aged pecorino rather than drinking it on its own.
