Marchesi Antinori Tignanello 2007

This is one of those famous Super Tuscans that 100% lives up to the hype almost every vintage but especially in a vintage as special as 2007. This is one of those must-haves for collectors.

It received an ocean of big press, a 94-point Editors’ Choice from Wine Enthusiast, and a 95-point review from Antonio Galloni who wrote “simply put, the 2007 is a magnificent Tignanello.” It also has a 95 from Parker’s Wine Advocate who calls the wine “ripe with promise for the future” in her 2015 review of the wine, where she gave it 95 points. Decanter came in at 96 and called it “rich, layered and full of pleasure” and Wine Spectator, the stingiest publication in the world came in at a whopping 97. still, given where this wine is now in its journey and being from the much-heralded 2007 vintage, this is worth every penny.

“Antinori’s 2007 Tignanello is wonderfully ripe and seductive in its dark cherries, flowers, spices, tobacco, sage, cedar, mint and minerals. This is as opulent a Tignanello as I have ever tasted but there is just enough acidity and structure from the Sangiovese to keep things from going over the top. The dense, muscular fruit follows through to an impeccable finish with no hard edges and impossibly fine, silky tannins. Simply put, the 2007 is a magnificent Tignanello.”
