Tignanello 2013

We remember the folks at Antinori saying they thought the 2010 could be greatest Tignanello ever. Make no mistake it is excellent but the 2013 has something more. Already more elegant than its many predecessors, expect a glass full of power with amazing vibrant juicy fruit and elegance. The 2013 Tuscan vintage is clearly different than most of Europe. A mostly cool year extended the season and put the emphasis on fruit and elegance. Tobacco, red fruits, stones, liquorice and a general purity of fruit that will be at its core foe decades. Long and complex this is one of the finest young Tignanellos we have tasted. Score – 97. (Anthony Gismondi, winealign.com)
