Pale garnet colour with a touch of brick. The nose is a little closed and restrained yet with some coaxing opens out into an amazing array of dark cherry, dried cranberry, forest floor and tobacco aromas with an exotic sprinkling of Chinese five spice.The palate fills the entire mouth with ripe, concentrated fruit. Perfectly balanced with high acidity and a medium+ level of fine tannins. Very long finish.

A gorgeous nose reveals black currant, cherry, licorice and mineral notes. On the palate, this is vibrant and long, with a finish that echoes the fruit and mineral elements.

The estate's 1999 Tignanello is a wine in which the Sangiovese plays a leading role. Classic notes of tobacco, dried cherries, spices, leather and underbrush all emerge from this sweet, layered offering. This richly textured generous Tignanello has put on significant weight in bottle and shows remarkable overall balance. In 1999 Tignanello comes across as more complete than Solaia.
Decanter (93)
The 1999 vintage from one of the original Super Tuscans remains powerful and spicy with rich red fruits at nearly 20 years old. There are some notes of evolution, and it takes a heartbeat to settle and open, but the fruit arrives to plump out the mid-palate, and its generosity soon becomes clear. Toffee, crushed raspberry, coffee, leather and cigar box are all on display, making this wine beautifully tempting and appealing. The tannins are soft and melted by this point. Get onboard, it's a beautiful moment to drink this wine.
