Last night we were at a great party. I brought along an 2001 Antinori Tignonello and my friend Jeff brought a 2001 Fanti Brunello. Fortunately for us, 2001 was a great year in Italy and both wines were phenomenal! The Tig is the Italian version of a fabulously big Left Bank Bourdeaux. It's a Cabernet based wine and is silky and very full bodied with soft smooth tannins, rich berry taste with tobacco and leather. Because this wine also has hints of herbs, it will pair well with basil, thyme, rosemary or parsley rich dishes.I'm not sure whether I liked the Tig or the Fanti better. The experts suggest that the Fanti really won't be really ready for another 3 or so years and will continue to age beautifully long after that. Having said that, and keeping in mind that this was a relatively young brunello, this wine was amazing. It is a massive effort that will only get better with age. Rated #23 on this year's Wine Spectator Top Wines List, it is a chewy, rich, huge wine with lots of berry and cherry fruit taste.
Bottom line, once you start to drink these wines, you just don't want to stop.
