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 2020 Tignanello Toscana IGT – Tuscany, Italy
97 Points James Suckling • 96 Points Vinous • 95 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate • 94 Points Wine Spectator
The Antinori 2020 Tignanello Toscana IGT is an exceptional Super Tuscan red wine from the legendary Marchesi Antinori estate in Tuscany, Italy. Produced from the historic Tignanello Vineyard in the heart of Chianti Classico, this iconic wine combines the elegance of Sangiovese with the richness and structure of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The outstanding 2020 vintage showcases the sophistication, balance and remarkable aging potential that have made Tignanello one of Italy's most celebrated and collectible wines.
The 2020 vintage opens with captivating aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, violet, lavender and dried raspberry, complemented by layers of blood orange, dark chocolate, cinnamon and sweet spice. The palate is beautifully concentrated yet remarkably refined, delivering vibrant red and black fruit, subtle mocha, toasted almond and savory tobacco notes. Silky, finely structured tannins and refreshing acidity create exceptional balance, leading to a long, elegant finish with lingering spice, minerality and remarkable depth.
Crafted from a classic blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, Tignanello reflects Antinori's pioneering approach to Super Tuscan winemaking. Carefully aged in oak barrels, the wine develops additional complexity while preserving the purity and vibrancy of its fruit. The result is a sophisticated, age-worthy Italian red that offers both immediate appeal and outstanding long-term cellaring potential.
