Superbe ! Un peu anguleux a l’ouverture , il a évolué très vite dans les minutes suivantes puis s’est livré avec grâce et homogénéité. Nez envoûtant, mélange d’arômes primaire (encore) et tertiaire, fruits noirs, minéral, boîte à cigare, terreux, etc. Très belle complexité . Très belle longueur. Couleur encore profonde avec auréole évoluée. Probablement en fin de plateau. Ne se bonifiera plus AMHA. 94-93

Joel's Tuscan Lunch (A farmhouse in leafy Kent): 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. Soulful and pleasurable, with a bright, really pretty nose. Well-integrated and balanced on the palate, with a savoury, slightly drying finish (surprising, given its age). Drinking very well, but probably wouldn't wait much longer.

Was a gift from a friend's cellar a couple of years ago. Based on the TNs here, I figured this would be pretty tired. Much to our pleasure, this was drinking great and neither of us would have guessed this to be 23 years old if tasted blind. Still lots of fruit and some structure. Certainly mature, but this bottle clearly could have lasted a few more years. Was fabulous with home-made beef short rib ragu. Now I kind of wish I had kept it for a more special occasion...

Beautiful nose like a mature bdx.
dark fruit, spice, barn yard.
The palate was smooth with silky tannins and dark fruit and underbrush.
The best older Tignanello I’ve tasted.
