Guado al Tasso | Antinori

Wonderfully stimulating scent of exotic fruits, white peach and apricot. Ripe and juicy, this crisp, dry wine with mild acidity nestles to the palate and lasts for a long time. An aromatic, creamy, complex and finesse-rich white wine. SUPERIORE.DE

Deep dark cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah with a wonderful bouquet of lavender and tobacco. Fruity with slight spicy and vegetable hints. The taste is concentrated and at the same time smooth with a pleasant persistence on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE

"This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah opens with aromas of cassis, underbrush and tobacco. The savory, balanced palate offers blackberry, clove and white pepper alongside polished tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"The Tenuta Guado al Tasso 2018 Bolgheri Rosso Il Bruciato is a steal at this price point. Indeed, this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah has consistently affirmed its very reputation on the fact that it so effortlessly hits that sweet spot between value and quality year after year. The wine opens to soft, supple fruit with blackberry and blackcurrants backed by spice, leather and tobacco. The aromas are fresh, fruit-forward and very inviting. The sweet succulence of the wine immediately invites a pairing with marinaded or barbecued meats slow-cooked over embers. In terms of mouthfeel, Il Bruciato is designed to be approachable and most importantly: food friendly. You can't go wrong here. I notice that the integration of fruit is particularly well-managed in this cooler vintage." Robert Parker

"A rich, layered young red with blackberries, plums and chocolate. It’s full-bodied and intense with black-chocolate and hazelnut character. So well crafted." James Suckling

Dark ruby violet, smells of blackcurrants and unfolds with excellent length, tight tannin and an emphatically spicy note in the final. We are curious to see what elegant flight of fancy this great Tuscan Merlot will take off in the coming years. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense bright ruby red with brightening rim. In the nose it is hearty and full, intense with ripe wild berries and a soft spice in the aftertaste, very precise. Dense in base and flow, opens up on dense and compact tannin, without frills and with full pressure to the final. Falstaff

"A soft and delicious merlot with berry, meat and walnut aromas. Hints of chocolate. Medium body, fine tannins and a delicious, juicy finish." James Suckling

"A pure expression of Merlot, the 2016 Bolgheri Rosso Cont'Ugo is a ripe and loosely knit red wine that would wash down nicely with easy pasta dishes. The wine shows the rich softness of the grape with black cherry, tilled earth and Mediterranean herb. The wine is immediately open and accessible." Robert Parker

"This rich, vibrant red is packed with plum, black cherry and wild thyme flavors, with well-integrated tannins. Flashes of earth, leather and iron segue into the long, fruit-filled aftertaste." Wine Spectator

"The 2016 Cont'Ugo offers a super-appealing mix of rich, dark fruit and bright acids with notes of black cherry, graphite, plum, chocolate, savory herbs and leather. Another year in bottle has done wonders for the 2016, which is showing very well today. Drink it over the next decade or so." Vinous
