This wine brought to mind precise imagery of tailcoats striped dress pants wingtip collar shirts and other gentlemen's fashion choices from the Roaring Twenties. Sporting a retro but classic personality the Marchesi Antinori 2018 Tignanello is quite the dapper and jovial wine that hits the market just as much of the world is emerging from a dark chapter of lockdowns and coronavirus curfews. I love the optimism that springs bright with such clarity and detail from within this blend of Sangiovese Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The 2016 vintage was a benchmark for sure but I prefer the 2018 thanks to that tinge of nostalgia or emotion that is so deftly rendered in this cool long growing season.

The 2018 Tignanello is a wine of breathtaking purity. Impossibly silky and persistent the 2018 is all class all the way. In many ways the 2018 reminds me of the 2004 because of its finesse but it has an extra degree of nuance that reflects important strides that have been made at the estate in the intervening years.

This is so aromatic with flowers such as cherry blossoms and roses together with currants and blackberries. A medium-bodied Tignanello with very fine tannins and depth. Racy and very very long finish. Pure and refined. Lots of blue fruit. Tight at the end but showing a sophisticated and reserved style. Very refined. Drinkable now but will age nicely.
