The Baby Tignanello is here.
The Antinori family is known for breaking rules, but they’re heading back to classics with Chianti, and it’s a knockout just like the 99pt flagship Tignanello that just ranked #1 on Wine Enthusiasts 2020 Top 100 Cellar Selections. Oh, and yeah, the “Marchese Antinori” is listed as a Cellar Selection as well; but at a fraction of it’s bigger sibling’s price.
JS 93
A layered and very rich Chianti Classico with blackberries, chocolate and hints of coffee. Full body, round tannins and a flavorful finish.
WE 92
Alluring aromas of cranberry, pomegranate and oak-driven spice shape the nose. The aromas follow through to the elegant, savory palate along with vanilla, star anise and a hint of coconut while bright acidity and supple tannins provide support and finesse. Drink 2021–2028.
Cellar Selection
W&S 91
This is a plush and velvety Chianti Classico, with ample notes of toasted vanilla and baking spices that cushion the red cherry and plum tones. The wine shows good freshness and acidity, suggesting a few years in the cellar will allow the fruit and oak to further integrate.
WS 90
A hefty dose of spicy oak wraps around the black cherry, plum and leather flavors. Muscular and broad, with a lingering aftertaste of fruit, tar and spice. Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2021 through 2028.
