Antinori Tignanello 2006
Another Italian famous red to be explored!
This is a supertuscan where they do not achieve the highest classification of italian DOCG, but as a IGT wines, this supertuscan has overwhelmed many others wines. the wine is made of mainly Cabernet Sauvignon and others blends to give its Bordeaux like character wine and its true expression of the soils.
This dark intense red wine has a mineral and oaky notes with cigar box aromas, blackcurrant and plums on the nose. This wine although is still young but after futher decanting for 1 hour, it develops from a young green-ish type of flavors to fruits, ripe fruits of plummy character flavors with touch of mineral, it feels like a very stuctured wine lingering all around your tongue. Medium body red with high astringency and very long finishing.
