We had a bottle of Tignanello at a restaurant yesterday and it was the first time I tried this wine. I was really excited because it is such a famous wine.

We gave it a short 40 minute decant before dinner.

Notes:

"A lot of fruit on the nose, very ripe. Plums, blackberries, cassis on the front and the notes of wood, leather take a backseat. Tannins give the wine a very good structure.

A bit primary for my taste. Nonetheless, an excellent wine, 92-93 with upside potential."

I must say, given the grape varieties, I was surprised by this ripe and almost jammy nature of this wine. I would drink it again anytime, but I am not sure about the price tag.
