Marchesi Antinori Tignanello (2022)

Tuscany, Italy

Varietal(s):78% Sangiovese, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc

There’s extraordinary energy in this wine. It displays a dark nose of black cherries, bramble fruit, violets, forest, licorice, bark, carob and leather. Density and tension dominate the full-bodied palate, with firm, velvety tannins. It’s slightly austere in the finish at the moment, yet it’s crunchy and full of potential.

96pts. James Suckling
