Marchesi Antinori
Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend
Tuscany, Italy
The Antinori family of Florence, one of the world's oldest and most distinguished wine producers, has lived in Tuscany since the 14th century. Blend of 80% Sangiovese, 15% Cab Sauv & 5% Cab Franc. Deep Ruby, aromas of black berry fruit aromas with herb, mint and sweet spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and cherry with cacao, vanilla and aromatic spice. Fine graceful tannins, long finish, well balanced, savory ending with oak and juicy earthy mineral tones. Very Nice!

No. 4 wine at the Downs Club Super Tuscan Dinner. No detailed notes Mainly Sangiovese - some Cabernet. Showing some sweet French Oak spice. Ramon reckons the 2017 could be cellared for 10 years whereas the 2016 could be cellared longer. An hour later that sweetness still there.

Delicious albeit SUPER COCONUT the oak is clearly present and yet super yummy. The wine has a bright and expressive red fruit profile.

Another one from last night’s birthday dinner. I had a little left to revisit on day 2 and it is still amazing. What a classic. I could sit with this for a long time. The smokey, deep dark fruit/licorice, and velvety mouthfeel, all make this wine shine. This one will definitely improve with more age. Easily one of the top 5 wines of the year for me.

Another outstanding vintage of this Tuscan Classic blend of Sangiovese (80%) with smaller amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon (15%) and Cabernet Franc (5%). Dark ruby color. Bountiful nose of currants, violets baking spices, and tobacco. Dark cherry flavors are accented by black licorice, tobacco and vanilla. Hints of crushed stones and toasted nuts on the long finish. Creamy texture and fine tannins. Beautiful finesse! Thank You Kasey and Petey!

Happy New Year, people!
A new year with new challenges, new opportunities, new successes and likely many failures. But also - some new great wine.

2016. It’s Tignanello, man. Still very young but so concentrated and smooth. Bit oaky - sure this will be a 95+ pointer when the oak melts off and tertiary flavors appear. $100 BK, $120 most other places.
