Vinvovest Overview
Another powerful vintage from the producer, the 1993 vintage has a rich complexity and dominant fruit character - perfect for first-time Tignanello drinkers. 

Sangiovese adds ripe red fruit flavors and firm tannins to the wine. The wine is dominated by Mediterranean herbs, dried flowers, cherry liquor, raisins, and a hint of wood with a tonic acidity. The wine gives a tangy freshness to the palate with a classic Tignanello long finish and prominent acidity.

91 Points - The Wine Advocate
The 1993 Tignanello reveals gorgeous notes of cedar, tobacco and sweet herbs that waft from the glass, along with slight notes of oxidation that are also present. This is a medium-bodied Tignanello and at this point the wine’s structural components appear to be dominating over the fading fruit in the wine’s balance. Despite its slender personality, this is a delicate, elegant wine, but it is best enjoyed sooner rather than later. 

91 Points - Tom Cannavan
1993 is not a particularly special vintage in Tuscany, but this shows just how well Tignanello can age, with a smoky, cedary nose, and rounded chunky fruit. There was something intrinsically Italian about it, quite unlike many of the more modern Super-Tuscans.
