2013 Antinori Tignanello
Community Tasting Note
travelculture Does not like this wine:
80 Points
Monday, May 1, 2023 - Disappointing. Drab, lacking fruit and structure, worse with extended decanting. Presumably past its prime.

Describing it as "drab" or "lacking structure" argues in favor of the off-bottle theory. Such a young Tignanello with the vivid, snappy acidity I have tasted twice in this 2013 really could not be mistaken as drab. Tignanello may be a little light on the QPR scale, but I've yet to experience it as "drab."
