Marchesi Antinori Tignanello 2004

Parker: Pale+ ruby colour. Subtle, slightly closed aromas of red cherry, raspberry, violets, mocha and cinnamon on the nose. The medium+ bodied palate provides a great intensity of cherry, spice and tea flavours balanced by crisp acidity. Medium to firm, grainy, very fine tannins and a long, long finish. Young.  95/100

Falstaff: Sattes, tiefdunkles Rubin, breiter, dunkler Granatrand. Satte, dunkle Frucht in der Nase, nach Melasse, reife Zwetschken, etwas dunkler Waldhonig, im Hintergrund feine Schwarzkirsche. Noch sehr kompaktes, präsentes Tannin, entfaltet sich feinmaschig, zeigt klarerweise schon seine Reife, salzig. 95/100

Galloni: The estate's 2004 Tignanello is a modern-day classic. Suggestions of macerated cherries, menthol, sweet spices, licorice and French oak meld seamlessly into a perfumed silky-textured core of ripe fruit. The tannins remain incredibly fine throughout. The wine's vibrant color and fresh flavors suggest it will age gracefully over the next decade. This is a remarkably refined Tignanello. 94/100
