Marchesi Antinori Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2008
The 2008 Tignanello is unquestionably one of the wines of the vintage. The 2008 isn't a huge or obvious Tignanello, rather it is a wine that impresses for its sublime elegance and precision. Understated layers of fruit caress the palate like cashmere in this impeccable, soft wine. There is not a hard edge to be found. Black cherries, tobacco, smoke and licorice are some of the notes that come through on the finish. The flavor profile is decidedly on the dark side, but the wine's structure is medium in body and intensity. In 2008 the Tignanello has more energy, focus and length than the Solaia. It is a fabulous achievement! Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Beautiful wine. Balanced, fresh, complexity. Black tart cherry fruit. Good acidity, cigar box - so lively and lovely. Can’t wait to try in another 3-5 years

Delicious in every way. Currants, blackberry, clove, leather and licorice. Medium tannins and just wonderful finish. La dolce vita...

A little disappointing after the fanfare. Developed and fried out on palate. Not great

Always good juice. We talked about this in the past but we've noticed that we much prefer Tignanello younger than other Italians so this is about as old as I would want them. 6 or 7 years is about right but the older ones don't show as well in my opinion.
