Marchesi Antinori
Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend
Tuscany, Italy
A truly fine young Tig, this 375 was strutting it’s exceptionally smooth and long Sangiovese with class. The last sip suggests a cellar-dweller will be rewarded.

Last dinner for the trip. From a restaurant list, decanted for 45 min. Nice deep purple hue with some red. Notes of currants, strawberry, some herbal thing like eucalyptus and some spice. Rich and round in the mouth. Not showing any tannins. Nice finish. Was good not great.

I can just smell forever. Moss, olive, pomegranate, bell pepper, cherry, and more. Keeps changing in my glass. What a treat!

WNH event number two. Rhône varietal wines with TX BBQ...a match made in Heaven!
Another leftover bottle from last night’s Italian theme. Obviously super young, but in the name of research, it was fun to see how this tastes...this is a big and structured Tig. Almost bruising right now. Toes the line between underripe and herbal and fruit forward in style. There is mocha, fig, cocoa dusted bay leaf, and blackberries on the nose. Big on the palate with more dark cocoa shavings, a rich black cherry liqueur and a unique licorice and oregano finish. Give this some time before it becomes a knockout. Thanks for bringing @Mike R !

Leaning into a distinctly understated style, this vintage keeps things subtle rather than overwhelming. On the nose, it offers a gentle mix of dried herbs, earth, and soft red cherry. On the palate, the wine feels graceful and light, focusing entirely on proportion rather than heavy extraction or punchy concentration. While the tannins remain firm, it ultimately feels like an elegant wine where you just expected a bit more.
The wine is perhaps at it's quieter window...well-made and structural, but lacking the mid-palate fireworks or dramatic nose you expect at that price point and prestige.

Well this was a beauty.
2015 didn’t disappoint. Beautiful cherry flavours on the nose. Palate of red fruits and full body. Celebrated all the good things in life

Sweet and Smokey. Loved this. Perfect mix of ripe dark fruits and kick. Great length. Half bottle. Awesome!
