The 2006 Tignanello is especially opulent in this vintage. Masses of dark red fruit, scorched earth and sweet oak emerge as this richly-textured Tignanello flows from the glass. The wine possesses superb density; all it needs is another few years to come together. Today it is remarkably vibrant and primary. Tignanello is 85% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

A truly lovely wine that is still young and needs time to open up, lovely nose, aromas of black currents, coffee, chocolate, sweet cedar, licorice, black cherries, big full rich body, with dry tannins, a multi layered texture and a long delicious finish. The wine needed more than an hour to open up and was still tight . My score 91, drink to 2024

Great showing! Perfectly aged, with secondary aromas of fading flowers and dried sage, yet still vivid and bursting with life. Pretty stuff.

Clunky and unexciting. The concentration was great but something was just not adding up. #tignanello #antinori

Very funky nose at first blush but as it opened up it blew off and was quite nice.

Very ripe, fruity, flirty. Probably would have preferred the 06 Felsina Rancia.
