Tignanello--Vintage 1999
Tuscany, Antinori
Lot 937 in original wooden cases. Lot 938-940 in two six-bottle original cartons
Parcel: lots 938-940
"The deep ruby/purple-colored 1999 Tignanello exhibits rare elegance married to considerable flavor intensity as well as power. Normally a blend of 80 Sangiovese, 15 Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5 Cabernet Franc aged in French oak for 12 months, the 1999 offers up aromas of new saddle leather intertwined with black cherries, currants, creosote, vanilla, and spice box. Rich and medium-bodied, with adequate acidity as well as sweet but noticeable tannin, it is the third consecutive exceptional vintage from this reference winery for modern, aggressively-styled Tuscan reds. Anticipated maturity: now-2012." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #144 (Dec 2002)
