ANTINORI |
| Deep intense purple-red colour. Intense, gently cedary, slightly spicy, expansive, ripe, crancherry-cassis-plum fruit on the still youthful nose. Dry, medium-full bodied, well structured, harmonious, intense, ripe, plum-cassis-crancherry flavours with a lingering, bright, gently cedary, sandalwood-tinged, nicely structured finish. This classy blend of 79% Sangiovese, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Cabernet Franc has 13% alcohol and under 2 g/L residual sugar. |

| TASTING NOTE: First made in 1971, this legendary Italian wine now celebrates its 50th birthday. Happy Birthday, Tignanello! The Marchesi Antinori 2021 Tignanello (made with 79% Sangiovese, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Cabernet Franc) pulls on all the heartstrings. To be released in May, the wine shows a quintessentially pretty taste profile with tart fruit flavors, redcurrant, tea leaf, heritage rose, crushed white pepper, licorice, nutmeg, clove and chopped mint. It opens slowly to reveal more richness and exuberance with time, becoming downright voluptuous and heady a short while later. The through line, however, remains the bright freshness and minerality of Sangiovese. Compared to the 2018 vintage (which I also loved), this vintage has more overall fruit weight and volume. Drink date: 2025-2048. Score - 98 (Monica Larner, robertparker.com, March 21, 2024) |
