Tignanello 2000

Drooooooolllllll :)

Parker 91 points:

Full Bodied, Dry, For laying down, Sangiovese, 13.5% alc. "The deep ruby/purple-colored 1999 Tignanello exhibits rare elegance married to considerable flavor intensity as well as power. Normally a blend of 80% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and

5% Cabernet Franc aged in French oak for 12 months, the 1999 offers up aromas of new saddle leather intertwined with black cherries, currants, creosote, vanilla, and spice box. Rich and medium-bodied, with adequate acidity as well as sweet but noticeable tannin, it is the third consecutive exceptional vintage from this reference winery for modern, aggressively-styled Tuscan reds. Anticipated maturity: now-2012." 91/100pts (Robert Paker - Wine Advocate Dec-2002)

Question: How much did you pay ?. I paid 3 weeks ago in the international area of the Milan Malpensa airport 52 euro (+/- 62 dollars these days).
