The 2019 Tignanello is so approachable right now. Like, seriously delicious. Maybe it’ll close, but it hasn’t budged in 6 months. I’ll drink my 750s and hold the Mags….

Narrative: Opened this last Thursday. No fruit. Lean body. Not at all enjoyable. Corked it. Stuck it on the kitchen counter. Tonight? An absolutely glorious display of
