2005 Antinori Tignanello Toscana IGT - Italy, Tuscany, Toscana IGT (7/14/2009)
WIML92-93
Tasted July 14, 2009 off a restaurant wine list.
Opened and decanted. Followed over about 90 minutes. Dark garnet color in the glass, clear hue throughout. The nose on this wine is all that and a bag of chips. Nose of saddle soap, rose petals and black berries; very floral in nature. This youthful wine is still a little tight on the palate giving way to flavors of black berries, black cherries and a dash of currants. Bright acidity, firm tannins, full bodied. Continue to hold for at least another year or two before trying again. (93 pts.)
