Tignanello 2011 Antinori

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (93)

The 2011 Tignanello demonstrates a very ripe and fruit-forward personality with bursting cherry and blackberry folded within sweet spice, moist tobacco and honey-almond paste. Its texture is heavy and dense with sticky spots of sweetness (the alcohol is recorded at 14.5%). With such a fruit-heavy personality, the wine doesn’t reach the soaring heights or brilliant complexity we see in cooler vintages. It should veer toward a greater sense of focus and tightness with more bottle age.

Well-defined by lively acidity, with densely woven cherry and plum fruit. The serious tannins are matched by a long, savory finish. -- Non-blind Tignanello vertical (October 2019). Best from 2022 through 2038.

James Suckling (95)

Ruby, rose, clear color. Fresh grapes, red fruit, marble and stone on the nose. Paprika, some cinnamon and fresh cherry on the palate. Light tannins develop structure and complexity. Sangiovese and cabernet sauvignon.
