Community Tasting Notes 125

  February 28, 2023 - Popped and poured; consumed over three days. The first half of the bottle was enjoyed on Day 1 and the second half was enjoyed on Day 3. Best on day three when it freshened up and had time to stretch its legs. The 2000 Tignanello pours a deep garnet color with a slight orange-ish rim; slightly turbid with an opaque core. Medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, deep ripe, black cherry fruit with leather, pipe tobacco, teriyaki, espresso, and earth. On the palate the fruit and non-fruit characteristics are confirmed. The wine is dry with medium+ tannin (which has all but integrated) and medium acid. Finish is medium+. A lovely 23 year old Tig that, remarkably, benefits from a good breather to get its best. Drink now with an extended decant but will continue to hold for at least another 5-10 years given good cellar conditions.

  March 26, 2022 - Very good if perhaps feel the warm vintage a bit. Mellow warm dark fruit with tobacco and cedar. Drinking well and no need to wait.

  January 8, 2022 - Not at all like the Tig that I know of. Good bouquet but tasted course. Could have been improperly cellared.
