1988 Château Pape Clément Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend

From Coravin at Chateau. Ruby color with some modest bricking. Nose abounds with leather and some light animal/brett/cheese. Palate is red fruit dominant: strawberry and pomegranate, but also some black currant. Medium+ finish and still some discernable grip. Concentrated and slightly tart, but also fully evolved with every aspect in nice harmony. The clear winner of the vertical.

2010 Antinori Tignanello Toscana IGT SuperTuscan Blend

Pnp at restaurant. Rich palette and silky, integrated tannin. Medium acidity. Not an in-your-face kind of style, but refined and great depth of fruit.

Not much in the way of tertiary characteristics yet though. So, while I agree with a lot of tasters that its still somewhat tight and will continue to improve in that regard, I would also say it is more or less mature from a tannin and acid softening/balance perspective. It has the stuffing to go perhaps up to ten more years, but didn't strike me as something ideally suited to that.
