The 2012 Tignanello is deep, rich and voluptuous, yet also retains a distinct element of classicism in its focused, mid-weight structure. Dark red cherry, pomegranate, kirsch, spice, tobacco and menthol open up in the glass...Firm veins of tannin and pulsating acidity give the wine its sense of energy and verticality...The 2012 is a Tignanello built on pure finesse and grace.

A successful court day in Fresno with my associate Tyler and we found a Fleming’s and hit up some wine after. This was decadently delicious. Much more approachable than I expected.

#2012 #Tignanello This #Androgynous #Beauty ... While still a baby, is a delight to try now... ❤️ Easy on the palate...But this embryo needs some time to turn from from a #Caterpillar into a #Butterfly ... Silky & elegant... I can't wait to see how she comes into herself in a decade or so... #WeAreYoung by #JanelleMonae is the #3 top song in 2012 & I think it suits this #SuperTuscan perfectly... What were you up to in 2012?? #ThinkWhileYouDrink

Young, but showing some incredible pedigree. Persistent and lively.

Deep ruby color with thick legs. Muted primary aromas of red currant, black cherry and strawberry jam. More pronounced secondary aromas of black tea, lavender, cocoa powder, wet stone, damp earth, cigar smoke, and a rich ribbon of vanilla. Medium + tannins, high acidity, with additional flavors of mocha and chocolate covered cherries. 15+ second finish, and still obviously very tight and worthy of many more years in the bottle. Amazing with bistecca alla fiorentina!
