2008 Tignanello Toscana IGT from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Front 95 points, Vinous 94 points, The Wine Advocate 94 points, Wine Enthusiast 94 points, Wine Spectator 93 points, Richard Jennings 93 points. This is the tasting note for 2008 Tignanello Toscana IGT from Robert Parker - The 2008 Tignanello is unquestionably one of the wines of the vintage. The 2008 isn’t a huge or obvious Tignanello, rather it is a wine that impresses for its sublime elegance and precision. Understated layers of fruit caress the palate like cashmere in this impeccable, soft wine. There is not a hard edge to be found. Black cherries, tobacco, smoke and licorice are some of the notes that come through on the finish. The flavor profile is decidedly on the dark side, but the wine’s structure is medium in body and intensity. In 2008 the Tignanello has more energy, focus and length than the Solaia. It is a fabulous achievement! The 2008 Tignanello is 80% Sangiovese aged in 300-liter French oak barrels (1/3rd new), 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, both aged in 100% new 225-liter French oak barriques. Anticipated maturity - 2014-2024.
