Details
80% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Cabernet Franc, Bright red-ruby. Ripe aromas of sweet red cherries macerated in alcohol, cedar, cinnamon and pepper. Suave and seamless, with soft, almost-overripe flavours of redcurrant jam, red plum syrup, stewed red plum and tobacco leaf. A very distinctive and much creamier than usual Tignanello, finishing with supple tannins and excellent length. Obviously the product of a warmer year, and though this outstanding Tignanello is a touch less refined than some recent stand out vintages, it's hard to argue with its sweet, soft style and early drinking appeal. No need to cellar this too long.
