1982 Antinori, Tignanello, IGT 3x150cl

Robert Parker 90

The 1982 Tignanello is a mature and evolved wine that gives a good sense of the wine’s aging trajectory. This is a backwards looking wine with a bouquet that gives its best right now but that is unlikely to see any further evolution in the future. The bouquet offers tones of cured meat, savory spice, tar, old leather and dried fruit or prune. The acidity is still very much intact and this is what gives the wine its current staying power and tonic appeal. Silky tannins characterize the smooth finish. [Monica Larner, 28/09/2017]
