Parker about Tignanello Double Magnum 2010
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. The past 12 months mark one of the most exciting times in the long, long history of Antinori. Marchese Piero Antinori and his daughters inaugurated their monumental winery in Bargino, about 20 minutes from Florence in late 2012 after a series of last-minute preparations and sleepless nights. Winery doors officially opened to the public in 2013. It would be impossible to exaggerate to grandeur of this sprawling, multimillion-dollar underground edifice. Angelo Gaja told me at the opening that Antinori's new winery is the most revolutionary event in modern Italian wine. I agree. With a museum, restaurant and tasting area, it represents Italy's most ambitious effort yet to make wine the ultimate destination.

Tignanello Double Magnum 2010

The 2010 Tignanello is a remarkable red wine from the heart of Tuscany, a true classic of the Antinori winery. Made from a careful selection of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc grapes, this wine offers a masterful balance between tradition and innovation. The grapes are sourced from the winery's finest vineyards in the Chianti Classico region, resulting in a wine of exceptional depth and complexity.
In the glass, the 2010 Tignanello presents a deep ruby red with light, brick-red nuances that indicate its age. The nose unfolds with a captivating bouquet of ripe red fruits such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by spicy notes of pepper, vanilla, and subtle aromas of tobacco and leather. A hint of oak rounds out the aromatic profile, which evolves over time.
On the palate, the 2010 Tignanello is full-bodied yet elegant. The structure is firm and well-defined, with ripe, well-integrated tannins that give the wine a long-lasting texture. The fruitiness remains present, but is complemented by a subtle minerality and pleasant acidity that lend the wine freshness and balance. The finish is long and complex, with hints of dark chocolate and a touch of spice.
This vintage of Tignanello demonstrates exceptional maturity and potential for extended aging. It is a wine that is both fascinating in its youth, but will gain even more depth and complexity with age. The 2010 Tignanello is a true masterpiece and a must-try for lovers of Italian wine.
