1998 Antinori Tignanello, Single Vineyard, Toscana, IGT, $60: The color is fading at the edge of the rim…nose is of leather and earth with a clay/smoke character…the palate attack is of sour dark cherry with leather and spice with a long decrescendo finish that starts to sweeten…tannins are minor and the overall impression is of an older wine than 11yrs…Overall a very rustic style of wine that seems in opposition to the typical reputation at Antinori…
Drinking quite well now…did well with ricotta/spinach stuffed shells…
