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 2022 Tignanello Toscana IGT 1.5L Magnum – Tuscany, Italy
96 Points James Suckling • 96 Points Kerin O'Keefe • 95 Points Vinous
The Antinori 2022 Tignanello Toscana IGT 1.5L Magnum 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. Presented in the impressive 1.5-liter Magnum format, the outstanding 2022 vintage is an exceptional choice for collectors, special occasions and long-term cellaring.
The 2022 vintage opens with captivating aromas of ripe black cherry, cassis, violet, wild plum and blackberry, complemented by layers of licorice, sweet spice, leather and forest floor. The palate is beautifully concentrated yet remarkably refined, delivering succulent dark fruit, mocha, vanilla and graphite with subtle notes of mint, cinnamon and rose petals. Fine-grained, velvety tannins and vibrant acidity create exceptional balance, leading to a long, elegant finish with lingering savory herbs, minerality and remarkable depth.
Crafted from a classic blend of 78% Sangiovese, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 Tignanello reflects Antinori's pioneering approach to Super Tuscan winemaking. Grown on the mineral-rich marl soils of the Tignanello estate and matured in French and Hungarian oak barrels, the wine develops remarkable complexity while preserving the freshness and purity of its fruit. The larger 1.5L Magnum format offers an appealing opportunity for collectors seeking gradual maturation and exceptional aging potential.

Tasting Notes: Black cherry, cassis, blackberry, ripe plum, violet, licorice, sweet spice, mocha, vanilla, graphite and leather. Rich and beautifully balanced with velvety tannins, vibrant acidity and a long, refined finish.
Food Pairing: Excellent with bistecca alla Fiorentina, herb-crusted rack of lamb, braised short ribs, wild boar ragù, porcini mushroom risotto and aged Pecorino Toscano.
Cellaring: Approachable now with decanting, but structured for further development. The 1.5L Magnum format is particularly appealing for long-term collectors, as larger bottles can support slower, more gradual maturation under proper storage conditions. A suggested drinking window of 2026–2040 and potentially beyond reflects the wine's impressive structure and aging potential.
