Overview

Bruce Schoenfeld: Dense and deep, all black cherry and rhubarb, this adolescent Tignanello is velvety and full in the mouth, yet still brisk. This was the first vintage in which the Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese were blended just before bottling, but the effect on the finished product is uncertain even to Cotarella. Both varieties assert themselves on the palate—but harmoniously. Delicious now and for a long time to come. 18
