"The complex nose exhibits black cherry, cocoa powder, cedar and spice nuances. A full-bodied wine with an exceptional fruit to tannin balance, it finishes with berry fruit, cedar and a touch of spice."

"Bright red-ruby. Ripe aromas of sweet red cherries macerated in alcohol, cedar, cinnamon and pepper. Suave and seamless, with soft, almost-overripe flavors 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 standout vintages, it's hard to argue with its sweet, soft style and early drinking appeal. No need to cellar this too long."

"Festive and lively, with tropical fruit and spicy vanilla aromas and supple flavors of raspberry, lemon and spicy yeast."
