Community Tasting Notes 52

  November 6, 2022 - Unfortunately past it’s prime. Left standing for around one day before opening. Cork in surprisingly good condition.
  
  While pouring into decanter it filled the room with an intense aroma of leather. Translucent orange even towards the final drops. High amount of sediment left in the bottle (unfortunately more waste than I’d like, perhaps one day standing was not enough?).
  
  Intense leather and oak on the nose, earthiness and slight fruit. On the pallete antique wooden furniture, pencil shavings, unfortunately lacks the punch of the jammy fruit and so leaves the wine quite unbalanced in that regard. Almost watery texture.
  
  This bottle taught me a lot about the aging process, the effects of lowering tannins in such a wine and the rapid development during decanting with an older vintage.

  August 21, 2022 - Nice Garnet color. Nose of stewed black cherries, taste of earth floor. Nice and round and getting a little flat but still has some Tanic structure had it with a wigu beef dinner at a restaurant and it did a nice job in contrast to a Tempranillo 2004 reserva

  October 9, 2021 - We did a vertical tasting with a 1995 and a 1996 Tignanello. The 1995 was by far the better of the two wines. The 1996 was a good wine but it did nt deliver like the 1995.

  February 5, 2021 - Medium ruby. Intense nose of plums, blackcurrants, cherries, tobacco, leather, cinnamon. Dry, medium+ acidity, medium silky tanins, long finish. Full bodied and fruity. This is not supertoscan bomb, but elegant and balanced wine. Excelent!
