Overview

Bruce Schoenfeld: There’s a lack of depth here that’s disappointing in a wine of this stature. Perhaps that isn’t technically volatile acidity on the nose, but it smells like nail-polish remover, and there’s not enough fullness to carry the fruit all the way to the finish. The cool vintage worked far better for Tignanello, which aims for elegance, than for a wine that depends on full ripeness to showcase its virtues. 15.5
