1993 Tignanella Antinori

Okay, here are tasting notes after bthe wine has travelled across the Atlantic and over America:

Nose: Slight tar underlaid with burnt sugar notes, sweet herbs, anise, and blackberry pie.

Palate: Fat, sassy black fruits with limestone/clay notes atop and a sunny tinge that Parker describes as "brambly". Cassis and coffee showing, with a mocha thing in the finish. Lovely wine that can cellar for eight years, easy, but can easily be drunk now.

Open envy for Fabio, getting to taste it at the source!
