Concentrated ripe raspberry and chocolatey flavors characterize this wine, which has the firm tannins and plump structure to demand three or four years before it's what it should be.

Very pale brick colour going brown. The nose is fading a little with notes of dried fig, forest floor and a little gamey / meatiness. The faintest remnants of silky tannins remain on the palate supporting some dried fruit and tea leave flavours. Medium to high acidity still provides some freshness, though this wine has topped its pinnacle and is on its way back down the mountain. Long earthy finish. Tasted November 2008.

Antinori - Tenuta Tignanello
Tignanello, for most, the original Super-Tuscan, was first crafted in 1971 and has since remained a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese. The 350-hectare estate lies amongst the picturesque hills between the Greve and Pesa River valleys, with 147 hectares of vineyards spread across the Chianti Classico appellation. Since the mid-1800s, this legendary estate, more than anywhere else, has expressed the Antinori’s family values: to display the union between tradition and modernity with wines that are genuine and characterized by their origins. Today, the leading figure in Tuscan wines, Piero Antinori, noted for his innovations and experiments in the field, manages the Marchesi Antinori group with his three daughters. Tignanello is home to two of the most influential wines ever created. The family’s flagship, Solaia and the first Super-Tuscan, Tignanello. These two iconic wines are marked by Antinori’s signature quality, they are vibrant yet complex and clearly express the presence of their unique terroir.
