Description

On the nose a subtle smokiness makes way for fragrant floral, pepper, tea and fennel notes. The palate is still fresh, with admirable vibrancy and energy, while the tannins build becoming firm and grainy on the finish. Simply put, this has a tonne of character and is drinking brilliantly right now. Despite being a difficult year for Sangiovese, there is a slightly higher percentage in this vintage, where it makes up 85% of the blend as opposed to 80%. Drinking window: 2018-2028. Part of Five Tuscan vintages to drink now. Score - 94. (Michaela Morris, decanter.com, Dec. 18, 2019)

Tasting Notes

The 2005 Tignanello is just beginning to enter the early part of its drinking window, although it clearly has enough stuffing to drink well for another 20 years, if not longer. Smoke, graphite, plums, earthiness, black cherries and spices take shape in the glass, but it is the wine pure power and intensity - both remarkable for a vintage that was considered light at the outset - that truly stand out. The style is dark, brooding and muscular, with notable density and tons of personality. The wildness of Sangiovese comes through loud and clear. Although not the most polished Tignanello, the 2005 is certainly not lacking in personality. Drinking window: 2015-2025. Score - 93. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, Nov. 2008)
