Tasted blind at the Southwold Bordeaux tasting

97 ha parcel of 40 year old vines and 50% new wood)

Balsamic and truffle notes pepper the palate of this handsome Barolo

but the plummy fruit and spicy wood appear to be nicely integrated

Tignanello other_regions Tasted blind at the SouthwoldThe 1993 Tignanello reveals gorgeous notes of cedar, tobacco and sweet herbs that waft from the glass, along with slight notes of oxidation that are also present. This is a medium bodied Tignanello and at this point the wine's structural components appear to be dominating over the fading fruit in the wine's balance. Despite its slender personality, this is a delicate, elegant wine, but it is best enjoyed sooner rather than later. Antonio Galloni
