Tignanello Vintage:2009 Peppery and meaty notes combineThe 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
