Delicious, minty luxurious mouthfeel.
N:Very minty, some deep tomato, as paste. It has an interesting lightness to it.
P: mulberries and bright red/orange long finish, still has that murky entry, The acids are still bright. Very tactile and grippy.

From last week. Terrific barolo that went great with linguini and a homemade tomato sauce with waygu meatballs. Yum. — 5 years ago

This wine was excellent. The nose was the beginning of a pleasurable moment leading into earthy flavor tones, and mild spice. There are enough tannins to sustain this wine a lot longer in the shelf. The finish wasn’t completely smooth but flavors lingered after the finish. Excellent with a red tomato and red meat meal. — 6 years ago

Funky when opened but then true nose came out. Light smell but a pleasant enough flowery and mineral mix. Gorgeous ruby red with a lighter rim. Clean start to finish. Starts with ripe raspberries and red fruit. Then comes tomato and a nice earthy stew. Balanced and beautiful throughout. Mild enjoyable tannins and sharp herbal finish. The plus acidity is exactly my speed and this is now the 2nd Burgundy red I can say I love. I read that 2015 was superior and that Marsannay would be great. I may not be qualified to say so but I think this makes the cut. — 7 years ago

Drink again on Nov 28, 2018; and this wine continues to remain my most favorite from Medoc. Must let it breath at least 30 minutes. Dark but bright ruby red color with very fresh aromas of red fruits like cherry, plum, and tobacco on the nose. Full-bodied and followed by very nice flavors of cherry, blackcurrant, chocolate, and a touch of sweet basil & dry tomato on the palate. Dry, silky but solid tannins, and end nicely with long length at the end. — 7 years ago

Hints of balsamic reduction and tea leaves on the nose. Beautiful crimson red in the glass from middle to rim with faint brown edges. Medium tannins and acidity. Black tea, espresso grounds, unripened plum skins and a tomato jam component on the finish. Oak is moderate and well integrated. Tannins hang in there through the finish. Paired with meatloaf...whatever bro. Eat what you got, when you can, when you work in retail. — 8 years ago

Tasted from magnum.

Ruby color with tawny hue showing the age. First nose has a slight touch of iron. Fruit is ripe and sweet. Vegetable scent of tomato stems suggesting presence of Cabernet Sauvignon. Sandy tannins of Sangiovese. Amazing how bottle aging makes the wine so smooth and satin.

Mostly tertiary aromas, but very well holding the age and could last for at least 5 more years without any signs of decline

Elegant expression of famous Tignanello.

1981 was outshadowed by great 1982. It was 10th anniversary vintage and is considered a very fine one.

Key oenological data:
Average sugar content of grapes at harvest 21.00%
Average total acidity of the grapes 7.80%
Alcohol content after fermentation 13.00
Average fermentation temperature 28C
Length of fermentation 13 days
Acidity of wine after malo 5.90
Ageing in 225 litre barrels 20 months
Bottle ageing in our cellars 18 months

I have published the article with a story of Tignanello, the emblematic SuperTuscan wine from Antinori.

\- What were the key factors of its success?
\- What makes this wine stand out from many other wines form Tuscany?

Best enjoyed with a glass of Tignanello.

Clear, deep purple wine with thin legs, cooked red fruit (cherry and plum) and notes of vanilla, mushroom, leather on the nose. Medium-light bodied mouthfeel, medium-low acidity with stewed red fruit and hints of vanilla with a light but medium-long finish. Not super complex but well balanced, fresh and fruity. Probably would go well with oily fish, sautéed mushrooms, creamy tomato sauces. — 5 years ago

When it’s 90+ outside with tons of humidity, one can count on this chilled red to make everything seem so much better. Seriously though, carbonic sangio is fresh and quenching! Tart cherries and ripe raspberries followed by tomato vine and white pepper, great acid backbone supports the finish. — 6 years ago

Served with all the smoke, a cloudy garnet nearing brown. Visual of high mileage motor oil. The aromatics were savory and decomposing in the glass. Stewed tomato and cured meat. The palate with surprisingly vibrant and sung Tuscan sunshine. This remains refreshing 47 years past harvest! Unreal. — 7 years ago

Night 1 of the Fall WNH event in San Antonio. What a killer start to the extended weekend, all courtesy to Shawn and Jennifer for hosting! Tonight was Italian wines.

Bloodied tomato, stinky cherry and raspberries. Color was gorgeous for the age. A nutty note on the finish with an earthy and mulch like note too. Leave it to @David L to bring a wine like this! Simply incredible for 54yrs young! — 7 years ago

Bright red fruits. Super similar to the 14 isole e olena, but much more approachable right upon opening-- less acid. Should have drank with a big pepperoni tomato pie. — 8 years ago

Pure old country style. No fruit other than perhaps dark, tart cherry and tomato. Mostly a juice with notes of cigarette box, dark unsweetened chocolate, black tea and hints of granite. Medium but very dry tannins. Balanced, pleasant finish. — 5 years ago

From mag. Had not yet tried this wine with this much age before and didn’t know what to expect but it was really quite nice. Develops kind of like a gamay or Pinot. Black cherry and raspberry still there but definitely leaner and more acid-driven and savory at this point. Dried flowers, stewed tomato, dried herbs, mushroom, maybe a little sweet tobacco and mesquite. Overall I think I would still drink this young for the exuberant lip smacking red fruit but this was interesting — 5 years ago

Tasted blind - Tobacco, tomato leaf, leather, tart and cherry preserves. Clean on the palate, bursting with cherry and red apple. Moderate tannin with acid holding this in check. Medium weight and beginning to show rim variation. — 7 years ago

Nose is tinned tomato & cured meat. Flavors of sour cherry (not in a bad way) and volcanic loam with a baking spice note. Very savory. Medium finish. Serious food wine. — 8 years ago
