Antinori Tignanello 2015

Lobenberg: Tignanello. Ein Name, den man nicht weiter vorstellen braucht. Ultrafein. Schwarzer Pfeffer, Nelke, etwas Amarenakirsche in der Nase. Am Gaumen bleibt der Wein kräftig strukturiert, ganz fein poliertes Tannin, mittelkräftiger Körper, nie fett, trotzdem immer mollig und geschmeidig. Ein Wein, der auch von der reifen Säure lebt, elegant bleibt und in seiner Komplexität einzigartig ist. Von außergewöhnlichem Reifepotenzial geprägt! 96+/100

Suckling: Fantastic aromas of dark berries, sandalwood and Spanish cedar that are ever so deep. Full body, an incredible spin of polished tannins and bright acidity. Incredible depth. Like looking over the edge of a skyscraper. Powerful and structured. A great Tignanello. A little more sangiovese than usual. Best since the legendary 1997? 98/100

Galloni: The 2015 Tignanello is a wine of extraordinary finesse. Ample, creamy and voluptuous, the 2015 dazzles from the very first taste. Dark raspberry jam, rose petal mint and wild flowers are some of the many notes that are laced throughout. Intense and explosive, but also remarkable vibrant, the 2015 is one of the finest Tignanellos in recent memory. The 2015 also represents a bit of a shift in winemaking philosophy that favors picking fruit a bit earlier than in the past and also blending earlier than was the case in the previous period spanning 2004-2014, when the components were aged separately and then blended just before bottling. Lastly, at 85% Sangiovese and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2015 has a bit more Sangiovese than is the norm, which contributes to the wine's freshness and energy. 98/100
