Antinori Tignanello 2006

Tuscany Docg, Italy
2821 days ago

Mike Chen scored this wine: 95/100

After a hour in the decanter, this 2006 Tignanello came with a great complexity, smoothness and balance. There is also a sentimental factor to help the enjoyment: we bought it at a enoteca in Siena few years ago.

Barolo

Poderi Colla Barolo Nebbiolo 2010

Piedmont D.O.C.G., Italy

Mike Chen scored this wine: 89/100

Still too young but quite well structured and balanced. Less depth that I remembered of 2004 vintage. Gonna wait for few more years

Great aroma, length and balanced. Plum is definitely dominant. Went more wild berries once opened up.
