Description
Antonio Galloni: The 2008 Tignanello is unquestionably one of thewines of the vintage. The 2008 isn't a huge or obvious Tignanello,rather it is a wine that impresses for its sublime elegance andprecision. Understated layers of fruit caress the palate likecashmere in this impeccable, soft wine. There is not a hard edge tobe found. Black cherries, tobacco, smoke and licorice are some ofthe notes that come through on the finish. The flavor profile isdecidedly on the dark side, but the wine's structure is medium inbody and intensity. In 2008 the Tignanello has more energy, focusand length than the Solaia. It is a fabulous achievement! The 2008Tignanello is 80% Sangiovese aged in 300-liter French oak barrels(1/3rd new), 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, bothaged in 100% new 225-liter French oak barriques.
