Tignanello Vintage:2009 dark berry liqueur and Asian-styleThe 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
