I'vd had The Mascot 2018 a number of occasions. The wine is simply "Fantastic." It is delicate yet bold with red fruit characteristics. Yet you find this simplicity about it, delicate and soft to the palate.

Antinori 2001 Tignanello Toscana IGT – Tuscany, Italy
95 Points Wine Spectator • 93 Points Wine Advocate • 93 Points Wine Enthusiast • 92 Points Vinous
The Antinori 2001 Tignanello Toscana IGT is an exceptional Super Tuscan red wine from the renowned Marchesi Antinori estate in Tuscany, Italy. One of Italy's most celebrated wines, Tignanello helped pioneer the Super Tuscan movement by combining traditional Sangiovese with international Bordeaux varieties. The outstanding 2001 vintage showcases the elegance, depth and remarkable aging potential that have made Tignanello a highly sought-after collectible Italian wine.
This beautifully matured vintage displays a deep ruby color with captivating aromas of ripe plum, blackcurrant, blackberry, sweet herbs and saddle leather, complemented by notes of roasted coffee, black olives and subtle spice. The palate is rich and full-bodied, delivering concentrated dark fruit, velvety tannins and exceptional balance. Layers of savory complexity unfold into a long, refined finish that combines power, elegance and remarkable depth.
Produced from the historic Tignanello Vineyard in the heart of Chianti Classico, this iconic Super Tuscan blends Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Aged in small oak barrels, the wine develops its signature combination of Tuscan character, Bordeaux-inspired structure and sophisticated complexity. With more than two decades of bottle age, the 2001 Tignanello offers collectors an opportunity to experience a mature vintage from one of Italy's most prestigious estates.
