What wine are you drinking now?

Love it. If the 71 has anything left, that would be awesome!

Sadly the 71 was really tired and really had no similar characteristics to the 12. There was a lot of earthy funk up front but it only had a few hours of air after decanting. Beyond that, tannins fully resolved, very little acidity and totally tertiary at this point. I think it may have a slight chance to develop a bit more and will try again tomorrow.

The 12 had a pleasant blue fruit and black cherry profile and was damn tasty with prime rib!
 
Couple that I'm catching up in

As expected, the Peju was on the wrong side of the curve, Schrade is snuggled in a safe spot, the Grillo was fantastic but should have gone with something with more avid for the meal, and laat 2 are from a TPWC wine dinner we hosted.

We hit Peju whenever we are out there.

We've been trying to follow the notes more. Crap just gets lost in the back of the cave!
 
So BiL likes his wine, and if the occasion is special, it’s got to be Tig.
Annual Xmas dinner with his crew, I counted 8 corks, one of which was a magnum

Xmas day at their place, we get the family portrait.

Situ rn: BV confirmed yummy, as is the Malbec - nice thing with these folks is they never bring any duds

Opened with some Brazilian bubbly I think I posted earlier

On the other hand, we cracked this the other day- it’s best days are behind it sadly, though still good

I realize it can sometimes be difficult to compare given the bottle size variation but really curious what your take was on the different vintages of Tignanello.

This was our lineup last nite. The Rampolla was a huge hit and everyone’s fav. We blind tasted the 2 Quilceda vintages side by side with everyone mistaking the 2012 for the 2002 and the younger vintage unanimously preferred. By midnight, there wasn’t much desire to drink so instead of popping vintage champagne I opened a very enjoyable bottle of Adami Prosecco.
