WTN: Tignanello 2013

Half bottle pop and pour. Inky, opaque. Ripe berry and touches of chocolate and middle eastern spices on the nose. Rich and sweet. A bit peppery/spicy at the finish. Very attractive right out of the bottle. Quite polished. Already fairly soft. Nice acid hit at the end for freshness. Good length. Will definitely age, but already an excellent drink.

Not sure I could ever stop at a half bottle of Tig. It's so good.

I still have a couple of cases of 90s and early 2000s vintages and they hold up really well. I am only prevented from buying more recent vintages because my Scottish forebears would scream at spending around $200 a bottle. I'd be delighted to find out if the current style is unchanged from their older wines.
