Elegantly perfumed fruit with subtle spice and a discreet scent of oak on the nose, shifting towards supple sour cherry flavour with some dark plum, stiff dry tannins and brisk acidity. Best with a bit more time in the cellar.
Mainly a Bordeaux blend with some Syrah, showing blackcurrant, blackberry and scents of cinnamon and clove with plush ripe dark fruit, evolving velvety texture and a light splash of dark chocolate. Heavily tannic dry grip takes over on the finish. Fine balance, but better with another 2-3 years aging.
Bright and floral with cherry, plum and mineral; complex, elegant and persistent, with elegant tannins and a long fresh finish. So versatile. Serve this with anything. It will become one of your go-to wines.
Great intensity and structure with black cherry, fig, raisin and currants; beautiful silky texture with firm tannins, great balance and a fresh, lifted long-lasting finish. Delicious and rich, but still elegant and immensely drinkable. Complimenti!
Deep plum-red. Sexy black-cherry nose with a touch of strawberry, and some spice from oak aging. Medium-bodied. Powerful tannins still overwhelm dark berry flavours. Decant, or give time in the glass, or best of all give it a couple of years in the cellar to develop complexity.
Tignanello delivers consistently fine quality. More forward than the 2008, the ‘09 shows harmoniously developed vinosity with elusive floral scents, gorgeously rounded fine red and dark fruit and firm tannic grip. Ageworthy, but can be drunk with pleasure now.
Complex aromas of rich berries, fig and plum, with hints of earth, savoury herbs and mocha; full-bodied with tons of fruit-coated tannins and an incredibly long, fresh finish. Calls for rich meat dishes like braised beef short ribs.
