Sunday, September 17, 2023 - Highly engaging nose of blueberries, cherries, and some herbal tones that speak to the Sangiovese. Palate soft, rich and silky, more cherries, a little tobacco, has a med+ finish. Clearly reserves hidden here but enjoyable in an understated way. I was surprised to see no tannins, but don’t drink much young Tignanello. This is what people mean by polished - modern, sleek, hard to argue with but ultimately a bit more crafted than I prefer. Compared to the traditional BdMs and Chiantis I love this seemed almost wimpy. Also not sure it will develop into a marvel. Still I see the quality even if not a style I look for.
