winemaker's notes:
Intense ruby red colour with light garnet hues. Complex and nicely harmonious aromas of tobacco, curry powder and blackberry and blackcurrant jam. A mouthfilling deliquescent sensation on the silky palate enhances the sweetness making the 2003 vintage a very stylish version of the Tignanello. A light hint of sweet, nicely rounded tannins in the finish make the wine more persistent.
Blend: 85% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc

Addendum to my first remarks about Tignanello 2003:
ACTUAL VINTAGE: 2001 not 2003.

My son selected this wine saying, "I think you will really like this wine. I chose it especially for you. I don't think you'll get a headache."
That evening I brought 3 bottles of wine to share with friends at dinner. I was determined to work my way through each bottle until I encountered something I could drink. The first was the Antinori 2003 Tignanello. 4 people. 4 glasses of wine. Perfect! Alas, no second bottle of 2003 Tignanello. I can still remember the glorious taste. Not a scientific review i'm afraid--just a rememberance of a perfect glass of wine.

Magnificent - but cant find the curry aroma
