Expert Reviews Highlight Exceptional Quality
The 2021 Marchesi Antinori Tignanello has been met with widespread critical acclaim, with experts praising its exceptional quality and complexity. The wine, a blend of 79% Sangiovese, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 8% Cabernet Franc, has been described as "silky and polished with exceptional finesse" (Wine Spectator).The 2021 vintage's characteristics include ruby red color with intense purple hues, notes of ripe plums, blackberries, and candied orange peels, and pleasant hints of herbs and spices. The palate is described as elegant and balanced, with a long, persistent finish.
According to James Suckling, "This is a big, rich and powerful Tignanello with a core of ripe blackberries and currants, backed by firm, integrated tannins. Full-bodied, yet refined with a complex finish that shows hints of iron, tar, tobacco, and toasted oak. It's already very approachable, yet has the depth to age." (98 points)
