Antinori Guado Al Tasso Bolgheri Superiore 2018

Critical Acclaim: 97 pts Wine Advocate; 96 pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate; 96 pts James Suckling. 

Winemaker Tasting Notes: Guado al Tasso 2018 is an intense ruby red color. The nose opens with captivating notes of sweet spices and small dark ripe fruit, licorice root, leather and tobacco. On the palate the tannins are graceful: silky on entry and vibrant on the finish. Guado al Tasso 2018 is harmonious with excellent balance and pleasantness, it’s most certainly less powerful than the 2017 vintage, but perhaps for this reason is more refined and elegant.

"Lots of redcurrants and flowers on the nose, together with crushed stones. Full-bodied and very layered with beautiful fruit and density, yet it remains agile and light. The tannins are totally integrated. I like the light herbal touch to the red fruit here. Flower petals. Juicy, flavorful finish with citrus zest at the end." - James Suckling.

Varietal: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Cabernet Franc and 18% Merlot.
