Tignanello--Vintage 1998
Tuscany. Estate-bottled: Antinori
Tasting note: There are 30,000 cases of this well-known Tuscan proprietary red made from a blend of 80 Sangiovese, 15 Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5 Cabernet Franc. The 1998 offers a classic bouquet of berry fruit, new saddle leather, underbrush, earth, and toast from its new barrique aging. Medium to full-bodied, good delineation, and a firm, classic style, it requires 2-3 years of cellaring, and should drink well for 15-16. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 137 (Oct 2001)
