Been away from this group for awhile, but since no one responded, here goes:
I'm a bit familiar with the Antinori Tignanello. 1985 and 1990 were super years for this super Tuscan. 1997 was excellent, 1998 pretty good. Have not tried the 2000, but 100 euros for the Magnum sounds pretty good.
The wine is a fuller bodied wine comprised of Sangiovese (80%), Cabernet Sauvignon (15%) and Cabernet Franc (5%) . A lasting finish, like velvet on the tongue. I drink a bottle every year on my anniversary.
I know nothing aboaut the Villa Antinori Rosso, but givent the track record of this award winning wine maker, it probably is great!
That's the best I can do.
