Recent-ish notes from other tasters are accurate; this wine is still drinking very well, and indeed feels relatively youthful. It needs plenty of air - 6 hours of slow ox didn’t do it, but 90 minutes in a decanter after that was beneficial. There is some sediment. The wine is an icon, even if a mass-produced one, and other tasting notes can provide the descriptions that might be necessary. I think it’s edged outside of the value range since perhaps 2019, but if you can find a mature bottle at €150 or under, it’s a worthy experience.

Decanted for sediment in an old wine decanter. Drinking beautifully right now with notes of earth, black tea, leather, herbs, dried cherries. Medium bodied with impressive depth. Not the most muscular vintage of Tig but highly enjoyable if you like this style. I wouldn’t wait much longer to drink these.

I double decanted it an hour before our drinking. The wine is still very youthful. It has decent tannin. The nose was beautiful with red berries and black berries. Pronounced intensity of nose. Palate confirms the nose.

Drinking really well. Cherry, cranberry, cassis, graphite. Very bright vibrant. Drink now. Opened an hour before pouring, no decant.
