Tignanello 2004 Antinori - #4 Wine Spectator 2007

Whoop Whoop and Praise the Lord for Tignanello. Man am I one happy chicky! Wine Spectator have crowned the Tignanello 2004 the #4th best wine released this year and not only do I own it, stock it, sell it and love it; it's cheap as chips! Well, relatively. The chips in London definitely!

So here it is, in all its divine glory, the Tignanello 2004. I've already reviewed it on another board so just a copy and paste job left for my final entry today.

Who is going to take that number 1 spot, I almost hope its not another Italian wine now but what about the Guado al Tasso if the Tignanello gets 4th! I'm so excited I could just play the bongos on a bald mans head.

< ---- Beautiful Buy it NOW! Buy a 12 case Now! Gonna go up massively in price.


Oh, oh look, there's me and what do I have on the table .... that's right Tignanello 2004. Fateful! It's like me and Jame Suckling could be the same person, I know that's what you are thinking. Our taste buds are aligned we both are plummy Brits living in Italy, simply uncanny!
So, and to the review! Let me just fumble around in Corkd.... let me see.
OK here we go... SEE MY CORKD REVIEW
Antinori Tignanello 2004 - BUY
Deep ruby red color, the Tignanello '04 looks like class before you even pick up the glass. The nose is exceptionally fresh and quickly gives up aromas of blackcurrent, spices, herbs, cherries and tobacco. A well balanced, smooth palate has perfect tannins and a smooth, long finish. Superb. (SN - 11/07) 94 Points
Where can I buy this wine? - (and buy it now, today, quickly)

I never do that, I never recommend a wine from The Cellar Door unless it truly is the cheapest available to the market. You can check www.wine-searcher.com to verify my validity and validness and validociousness.
Question of the Day?
Am I naughty to recommend you to my own company? :o(

Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia 2004 - Wine Spectators #7 2007


Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia 2004 - #7

The first Italian wine to make it into Wine Spectators TOP 10 of 2007 is really not a surprise to those in Italian wine. The Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia 2004 from Tenuta dell'Ornellaia got 97 points from James Suckling. This is a blended wine from the Tuscan coast in the Bordeaux tradition so was bound to tickle the tastebuds of Senoir Suckling.


Trully it is a wonderful wine but with the Barolo's of 2003 lacking in majesty it's probably up to our old chum Brunello to save the day.

Red wines so far dominate Wine Spectators revealed Top 10 (WS is revealing the Top 10 from the bottom up, 2 each day) with no white wines in places 10 to 5 and just one champagne.

Everyone is trying to guess what the number #1 will be, but I really have no idea. Do you?

Where can I buy this wine?
Europeans - Di Liva - €100
Americans - PJ Wine - $149
Brits - Antique Wine Company - £100
