According to the Wine Spectator: Intense? aromas of blackberry, currant and dried flowers follow through to a full body?, with sleek, minerally? undertones and superpolished tannins. This is racy and refined. Reminds one of the 1996 Léoville Las Cases or the estate’s 2000. Made for aging. A more refined, new style? of Guado. To be released early 2009. Best after 2012.
According to the Wine Advocate: The estate’s flagship wine, the 2005 Guado al Tasso, possesses gorgeous aromatics? and a core of vibrant, dark fruit framed by finessed tannins. Medium to full-bodied, it shows superb balance?, particularly in the use of French oak??. With air, attractive notes of wild herbs, smoke, minerals and sweet toasted oak develop to complete this very pretty? Guado al Tasso. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2019. Tasting Notes - Intense ruby red colour, very subtle and fragrant aromas with light hints of red berries and stronger sensations of chocolate? and liquorice. Close-nit, velvety tannins on the palate? with chocolate, blueberries? and a hint of vanilla? in the aftertaste?. A tangy and lingering wine, complex? and stylish thanks to the excellent blending of tannins from the wine and the oak.
