Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend
Tuscany, Italy
A truly fine young Tig, this 375 was strutting it’s exceptionally smooth and long Sangiovese with class. The last sip suggests a cellar-dweller will be rewarded.

WNH event number two. Rhône varietal wines with TX BBQ...a match made in Heaven!
Another leftover bottle from last night’s Italian theme. Obviously super young, but in the name of research, it was fun to see how this tastes...this is a big and structured Tig. Almost bruising right now. Toes the line between underripe and herbal and fruit forward in style. There is mocha, fig, cocoa dusted bay leaf, and blackberries on the nose. Big on the palate with more dark cocoa shavings, a rich black cherry liqueur and a unique licorice and oregano finish. Give this some time before it becomes a knockout. Thanks for bringing @Mike R !

2015 vintage. Decanted and tasted immediately. Very little sediment. Medium-medium-heavy body. Structure and both ample grip and fruit in a beautiful balance currently and for the foreseeable future. No rush to crush. Revisit in a decade. Wowzers. 5.17.24.

Maybe better than the 2015 Ornellaia tonight.

2015 showing well. The age on the bottle is doing it well.
