  The Wine Advocate
  This wine brought to mind precise imagery of tailcoats, striped dress pants, wingtip collar shirts and other gentlemen's fashion choices from the Roaring Twenties. Sporting a retro but classic personality, the Marchesi Antinori 2018 Tignanello is quite the dapper and jovial wine that hits the market just as much of the world is emerging from a dark chapter of lockdowns and coronavirus curfews. I love the optimism that springs bright with such clarity and detail from within this blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The 2016 vintage was a benchmark for sure, but I prefer the 2018, thanks to that tinge of nostalgia or emotion that is so deftly rendered in this cool, long growing season."

  Fragrant and incredibly refined, this classy red exhibits enticing scents including ripe berry, fine tobacco blend, camphor and dark spice. Smooth and enveloping, the delicious palate boasts a winning combination of creaminess and vibrancy, delivering juicy black cherry, red cherry, licorice and dried mint framed in polished, fine-grained tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it well-balanced. Drink 2023-2033."

  Kraftvolles, leuchtendes Rubin mit leichtem Violettschimmer. Eröffnet mit Noten nach reifen Brombeeren und Maulbeeren, etwas Cassis, im Hintergrund erdige Noten und etwas Schokolade. Rund und geschmeidig in Ansatz und Verlauf, entfaltet sich mit sattem Mundgefühl, viel feinmaschiges Tannin, ummantelt von süßem Schmelz, lange und tiefgründig."

  Vinum
  Symbolisiert als Blend aus Sangiovese mit etwas Cabernet Tradition und Innovation in einem. Im Jahrgang 2018 zeigt sich der Tignanello in Topform: die Nase fruchtig-würzig, der Verlauf finessenreich und doch charaktervoll, von grosser Länge und Eleganz."

  This is so aromatic with flowers, such as cherry blossoms and roses, together with currants and blackberries. A medium-bodied Tignanello with very fine tannins and depth. Racy and very, very long finish. Pure and refined. Lots of blue fruit. Tight at the end, but showing a sophisticated and reserved style. Very refined. Drinkable now, but will age nicely."

  Wine Spectator
  A dark, brooding style, yet focused on the black cherry, blackberry, spice, tobacco and iron aromas and flavors. Rich, dense and vibrant, with a long, detailed aftertaste, showing superb focus and balance. Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Better than previously reviewed. Drink now through 2042."
