2000 Tignanello of Antinori

[dananne]

This sounded familiar, so I looked back over my notes, and I tried this at a wine event last Ddecember. Agree with your TN, particularly the tar element, which I also noticed. Though "tar" probably wouldn't sound appealing to some people, I don't think it detracts from the wine -- just adds complexity.

Oh, and I don't think IK was referring to you placing the tasting note on the Italian thread, but rather commenting to Eng that if he was to start an Italian wine swing, that maybe he should focus on wines that are more traditionally "Italian," and not so-called Super Tuscans, to get a better sense of what Italy offers.

Back to the wine, I agree that it could use another few years of bottle age to show best, though I unfortunately have none in my cellar to find out for sure.

Thanks for the notes!
