Violets and lavender with dark fruit and hints of dark chocolate. Sophisticated nose. Medium-bodied with fine tannin structure that gives this finesse and beauty. It’s very long and goes on for minutes. Precision. 68% sangiovese with the rest in cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon. Drinkable but better in three or four years. (JS)

Underbrush, violet, tobacco, eucalyptus and cassis are just some of the aromas you’ll find on the stunning 2020 Tignanello, Antinori’s iconic red made with Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and a small amount of Cabernet Franc. Full-bodied and enveloping, the savory palate features ripe black cherry, red currant, mocha and licorice framed in velvety, close-grained tannins.

The 2020 Tignanello is so primary, so intensely fruit-driven, that it almost tastes like a barrel sample. A burst of red Sangiovese fruit opens first, followed by hints of blood orange, cinnamon, spice, dried flowers and mocha develop later. Time in the glass brings out striking dimensions. In 2020, Tignanello is wonderfully sleek and racy, with fine tannins that lie below a core of bright, sculpted fruit. The balance here is just sublime. I can't wait to revisit the 2020 with age.

Delightfully approachable on the nose right away, with warm mocha notes and cool graphite aromas against bing and black cherries, and a palate that's equally outrageously delicious and easy to love even in its unbridled youth, with more cherries, blackberries, raspberries and chocolate inside a framework of tannins made to measure and acid built like an invisible force field. (DC)

Notes

Tignanello takes its name from Antinori’s vineyard between the Greve and Pesa valleys, in the heart of Chianti Classico. Sangiovese forms the core of a blend with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, grown on a hillside of limestone-rich marl. The estate’s 2020 report records a harvest from September 20 to October 9. The wine matured for fifteen months in French and Hungarian oak, with individual lots initially kept separate and then blended during the ageing period.
