2008 Tignanello

Norbert says:
The 2008 Tignanello has 30,000 cases and offers a classic bouquet, berry fruit, new saddle leather, undergrowth, earth and toasty spiciness from its aging in new barriques. Medium to full bodied, with more tannins than the velvety 2007, well defined in character and held in a firm, classic style. Estimated maturity now until 2026.
