Community Tasting Note

stockshooter Likes this wine:

Saturday, July 23, 2016 - Opened but NOT decanted for 2hrs+ .. great nose from the start but kept getting better ..

Found out from previous bottles that decanting looses a bit of depth on the nose and palate ...
Far better off to just open and let breathe, especially with older vintages of Tig.

Cork was in perfect shape.

Lots of dark fruits on the palate with fairly smooth tannins ... very balanced.

A great rustic sangiovese 'Tig' taste. A absolute pleasure to drink!

Probably one of the best Tig's we've ever tasted ... Drinking extremely well!

Kept getting better and better.

Paired with prime rib, wasabi infused mashed potatoes, sauteed mushrooms & au jus.

Unbelievable bottle! IMO easily many years left! 96+
