Classic Tignanello. Big and generous but with gentle tannins and well integrated oak. Was delicious from the start but we decanted it and it continued to open up through the night. We drank it along side a few left bank bordeauxs and the oak became more noticeable in contrast.

Dinner at Peter's: Thoroughly enjoyed this: all the energy and angularity you could want- fresh and deep cherry fruit, mint and roast herbs, some meaty notes- but really it's the heady fruit which dominates proceedings. Primary fruit on the palate, tangy and rich, with a velvety smoothness punctuated by zippy acidity. The character is totally in my sweet spot and just had the 'thing'. Loved it.

Feels like a bordeaux. But like so many bordeaux, it is plagued by excessive bitterness (from the wood). Very poor qpr and not a style I still favor

Spicy, some minerals but this wine is dominated by a bitter touch originating from the heavy toasted barrels. Not the best QPR.
