I was not prepared for this wine. I expected an exceptional German Riesling, but after almost two years on the full lees, this is rather different, very structured and subtle. Brioche, flint, candied stone fruits, very creamy on the palate, so complex that I cannot put this into words, really. I believe this is Champions League, but next time (not before 2022) I will decant and use a larger glass.

A fruity wine with drive and depth. Green pear, apple, pink grapefruit and tangerine peel in the nose, creamy on the palate with an energetic and juicy finish with lemon and a bit salt, stimulating appetite and thirst. Nice one.

This vintage doesn’t quite convince me. It is clearly well made as all Tignanellos, dark fruits in the nose, blackberries, prunes, rum pot, a bit greenish with fern, eucalyptus though, but on the palate it is for me (my wife dissenting) incoherent and doesn’t play on the full mouth and the tannins are too loud. I don‘t believe that further aging will help and look forward to the 2013.
