The 2019 Marchesi Antinori Tignanello is brimming with youthful ebullience and demands to be noticed. The nose is immediate direct and very charming with sweet ripe cherry fruit. On the palate it is supremely harmonious and balanced with delicious flavors of cream spice and vivid just-ripe crunchy blackberry. The tannins are beautifully refined as with the superb 2016 but if anything there is even more refinement. Although it has not had time to develop any of its complexity or depth yet it shows incredible potential and is already very much at ease with itself. It seems a return to a more normal vintage in 2019 has meant the vines were comfortable and not overly stressed. This 2019 Tignanello seems to reflect this wonderful sense of ease. Renzo Cotarella CEO of Antinori and head of winemaking described this wine as ?sbarazzino? ? vivacious. I can see what he means.

The Marchesi Antinori 2019 Tignanello was born in a classic growing season that saw some cooling summer rains and relatively stress-free conditions. This is an elegant and extremely polished wine made with mostly Sangiovese and smaller parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Here too the small blending element of Cabernet Franc has been slowly increasing in recent years. The 2019 vintage was born with a good amount of power and tannic structure and maceration times were slightly reduced as a result. This less extractive approach shapes a polished and elegant wine with plenty of bright berry fruit cherry dried mint blue flower blood orange and rusty earth. The palate is more compact and streamlined. It shows beautiful grace. After this the next vintage to watch is the highly anticipated 2021.

A supple elegant red highlighted by bright cherry black currant violet tobacco iron and oak spice aromas and flavors. Though fluid and seemingly approachable now this is well-structured and shows the balance to age. Fine length. Sangiovese Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2025 through 2042. 25800 cases made 5000 cases imported.

The 2019 Tignanello is one of the most reserved understated young wines I can remember tasting here. In so many vintages Tignanello is quite showy but in 2019 the nervous energy and brightness of Sangiovese takes center stage. That?s intriguing because the 2019 blend has a bit more Cabernet Sauvignon than normal a decision made to compensate for some of the lighter qualities in the Sangiovese. With air the 2019 shows gorgeous depth and captivating inner perfume even if it is clearly still coming together. The 2019 spent about 14 months in oak with 50% new wood. Things are always in constant evolution at Antinori. This is the first vintage to incorporate some larger 500L barrels an approach I think will work brilliantly.
