Critic Notes
The 1999 is short in the mouth, suggesting the vineyard may have suffered hail damage. It exhibits aromas of sweet plum and cherry fruit, medium body, light tannin, and an abrupt finish.

Score: 87-/100 Robert Parker

In 1978, the vines used to make Antinori’s Tignanello produced an unusually high yield of Cabernet Sauvignon. Rather than waste this, or blend it into the other wines, they decided ...
