minty cocoa nuance that builds with aeration

More hedonistic and voluptuous than the 2010

the 2012 becomes more finessed with time in the glass

Tignanello other_regions minty cocoa nuance that buildsThe 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
