Guado Al Tasso

Guado Al Tasso

Description: Dry Red

Vintages Available: 2005 2006

Country: Italy

Region: Tuscany

Producer: Antinori

50% Cabernet Sauvignon
45% Merlot
5% Syrah

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.
