Community Tasting Note

Friday, February 24, 2006 - Tignanello Vertical Tasting and Dinner (Establishment Restaurant, Manchester): A very fragrant nose, with some red fruit, but also a hint of TCA. The corkiness seems to develop into more VA, and there's a certain musareyness to the nose. Very wide palate, but it's clearly affected by something. Lacks fruit. Quite grippy on the finish, with rather high acidity.
This is clearly faulty, but actually not overtly unpleasant. But, leaving it to settle in the glass, the TCA shows through again, along with loads of volatile acidity, which goes some way to masking the TCA.
Another corked one, damn!
