Tignanello Antinori 2003 (750ML)

92 points, Antonio Galloni, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: “Antinori’s 2003 Tignanello (85% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc) is a terrific effort. Typical Sangiovese notes of red cherries, tobacco and underbrush dominate the flavor profile of this intensely flavored Tignanello that manages to be ripe and open, while retaining notable balance and freshness, although the tannins dry out a bit on the back end. This is a delicious Tignanello to enjoy now and over the next decade. The high altitude of the vineyards was clearly an asset in 2003. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2018.” 06/07

91 points, Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator: “Distinctly minty, this reveals black cherry and plum notes. Concentrated, with a vibrant feel and dense tannins.—Non-blind Tignanello vertical (October 2019). Drink now through 2025. 27,500 cases made.” Web 2020
