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.
