Wednesday, February 26, 2020 - The first vintage of Tignanello.
Opened and poured straight away .
Dark cloudy garnet red core with the edges starting to lighten.
On the nose it is tertiary. A closed and musty bouquet which is slowly opening up for some cherry, smoke, violets and orange with time in the glass.
On the palate it is fragile red fruit, soft soft tannins and subtle acidity.
No doubt that this is way beyond it’s best years but I’m impressed by how it’s still hangin’ on for dear life. Medium to medium plus length in the finish.
A very exciting once in a lifetime wine.
