Friday, February 24, 2006 - Tignanello Vertical Tasting and Dinner (Establishment Restaurant, Manchester): A much more closed nose - duller and a touch green … and uh-oh, there's a tell-tale whiff of TCA. Interestingly, and here's an object lesson in not swirling the wine when the sommelier gives it to you taste, the TCA blew off a little with a lot of aeration. It didn't blow off on the palate though, which remained thin, acidic and largely fruitless throughout the evening. Not that that stopped Ray pouring himself another glass at the end of the evening.
Corked.
