1985 Antinori Tignanello
Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, March 15, 2016 - Very structured and angular out of bottle, Distinctively Tuscan. Tar ash leather and ripe red berry fruit that takes a good hour to open. Lots of power warped up in a solid frame. Rip tannin with a super long finish. A Tignanello for the ages. Stunning.

I think most are best 10 to 15 years, but vintages like 85 will go the distance, based on my experience. They will, of course, appreciate in value to some degree as well, so its probably not too bad an investment.
