1979 Antinori Tignanello

Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, October 19, 2016 - Tignanello Tasting dinner with Renzo Cotarella (La Pizza Fresca Ristorante, NYC): From 5 Liter bottle. Color is starting to brick, brownish red. On the nose quite a bit of barnyard funk, which dissipates over the course of the evening. On the palate, I find this to have a distinct raisiny quality to the fruit. The winemaker noted that this was a particularly ripe vintage in Tuscany. Tastes over the hill to me, still interesting but not exactly delicious. Both the nose and palate fade a bit after a few hours in the glass.
