Tasted blind at the Southwold Bordeaux tasting

All things considered

The second has an attractive minty bouquet

with an elegantly textural attack and a creamy core of fruit that's underpinned by a bright but nicely integrated spine of acidity

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
