Antinori 2001 Tignanello IGT Toscana Italy

Deep ruby red in colour, the wine is focused on plum and cassis fruit, with an additional layer of sweet herbs and saddle leather. The palate has volume, roundness, and depth.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: A blackish ruby, its perfectly focused plum and cassis fruit, given an additional complexity by notes of sweet herbs and saddle leather, is fully and completely shaped in flavors of impeccable volume, roundness, and depth, caressing and powerful.

• James Suckling: Loads of blackberry, coffee and olive aromas. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, subtle yet rich finish. A fine Tignanello that shows reserve and class.
