Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2020

Ming L
9.3

Quite approachable at this young age. 30 minutes decant and it’s open for business. Aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, sweet spices, cocoa, and lightly roasted nuts. The depth of flavors and elegant medium to full body show the pedigree. If blinded, I would not be able to tell this is a Sangiovese dominant blend. Would prefer a bit more acidity. But who am I to complain. — a month ago

Tenuta Sette Ponti

Oreno Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2015

2015: Excellent Merlot/Cabernet based Super Tuscan, drinking well now. Lots of concentrated purple and blue fruit somewhat balanced by moderate tannins and menthol. Viscous and well-made, though lacking the grip of a Tignanello. Would expect more complexity to complement the fruit over time. $89 at WL. — a year ago

Chateau Montelena

The Montelena Estate Calistoga Cabernet Sauvignon 2002

Very nice wine and drinking fresher than the 2007 Tignanello we had alongside. Classic Napa, but also with the right level of restraint. Quite delicious. — a month ago

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia

Bolgheri Superiore Red Blend 2019

More reserved than the Tignanello but with a silky, polished mouthfeel with tannins lurking that will need more time. — 2 years ago

Le Mortelle Poggio alle Nane Maremma Toscana Cabernet Franc Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Very good. At this moment in time not much difference between this and the 2020 Tignanello that we drank next to it. Same style. This one being much more open and less backbone, the Tignanello needs more time with more to come. — a month ago

Tenuta Greppo (Biondi-Santi)

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2004

Delectable - this is the Riserva. Dining at Do Forni in Venice which won a Grand Award for its Wine List from Wine Spectator. They have amazing verticals of Cuvées like Sassicaia, Solaia, Gaja, Tignanello etc…and, of course, Biondi Santi. I was hoping to pick a Soldera but only a magnum left at a hideous price. An aged tawny rim, tinge of orange. Burnt orange peel and Georgie thought a note of rubber. An Animale/Gamey note which didn’t detract. Dried cherry, loamy notes like the previous night’s Salvioni. This is Brunello royalty which is ridiculously long lived. At 19 years of age this is infanticide for Biondi Santi. We visited the winery about 6 years ago where I bought a 2001 which hasn’t even entered its drinking window yet. Medium plus tannins. This was a special treat. — a year ago
