Antinori's 2010 Tignanello is stunning, as it has been since I started tasting the component wines in 2011. Firm yet sweet, silky tannins form the backbone for this gorgeous, vivid wine. Dark red cherries, plums, cloves, mint and sage inform a Tignanello that impresses for its delineation, nuance and power. Clean, saline notes support the mineral-drenched finish. The 2010 isn't huge, but rather is a vertical wine endowed with tremendous energy and vibrancy. I can't remember a Tignanello with this much crystalline tension and pure energy. Simply put, the 2010 Tignanello is a magnificent, towering wine from Antinori.
Antinori has done a fabulous job with their 2010s. Specifically, the dual flagships Tignanello and Solaia are off the charts in a vintage that is likely to go down as one of the all-time greats for both. I started tasting those wines in the summer of 2011, when the wines were still separate components. A video of that tasting is here. I then tasted the wines last spring in blended form prior to bottling and have since tasted them several times from bottle. Each and every time, I have been blown away by the quality. I think it is fair to say these are some of the greatest wines Antinori has ever made. For more perspective on Antinori and Solaia, readers may want to take a look at this short video shot during a complete vertical of Solaia earlier this year, plus my interviews with Piero Antinori and long-time winemaker Renzo Cotarella. The 2010s promise to be long-lived wines.

Humming with energy and life from the very moment you put your nose in the glass, Marchesi Antinori’s 2010 Tignanello shows magnificent aromatic layering and an enormous capacity to peel back and reveal itself in beautiful slow motion. This is an articulate wine with a long story to tell about the quality of its profound 2010 fruit. This Tignanello has the elegance of 2004 and the structure of 2007. A brief note on the structure: The mouthfeel here is not broad and big. Instead, it shows a sharp and elegantly streamlined feel with impressive persistency. Compared to 2009, the Sangiovese component is slightly higher with 80% of the noble Tuscan variety followed by 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2035.
