1997 Antinori Tignanello

Community Tasting Note

94 Points

Tuesday, September 23, 2014 - Upon opening this was simple and subdued in a wonderful way. There were flavors of cherry and leather but delivered quite softly (minimal to moderate acidity). I can't help but think that bigger is not necessarily better.

At about 45 minutes it became fuller with a distinct spiced plum note along with some fleshy cherry.

And 1.5 hours later this is full and front and center. The texture has become more viscous and on top of all other flavors mentioned a sandalwood note is now in the mix.

The final sip offered up (besides moderate sediment between the teeth), licorice/anise and all those other tasty flavors stated earlier.

If I get my hands on another bottle, I'd open it now but about an hour before dinner and see what 2+ hours might do for it.
