"The Guado al Tasso 2019 Bolgheri Rosso Il Bruciato boasts generous fruit weight with layers of dark cherry, ripe blackberry, tobacco, spice and baker's chocolate. The tannins are plush and soft, and ultimately, it is the supple mouthfeel that gives this wine its mass appeal and exceedingly easy-drinking personality." Robert Parker

Dunkles Rubinviolett, duftet nach schwarzen Johannisbeeren und entfaltet sich mit hervorragender Länge, straffem Tannin, feiner Extraktsüße und betont würziger Note im Finale. Wir sind gespannt, zu welchem eleganten Höhenflug dieser großartige toskanische Merlot in den nächsten Jahren noch ansetzen wird. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2017 Cont'Ugo is laced with red cherry jam, mocha, flowers, mint and sweet spices. Rich and voluptuous in the glass, with tremendous vivacity, the 2017 is another winner from Antinori's Guado al Tasso estate. The 2017 is plush, sumptuous, fruity and ripe, with silky tannins that give it striking immediacy and tons of appeal." Vinous

"Rich and fruity, this balanced red offers black cherry and blackberry flavors. Smooth and vibrant, with fine length on the finish." Wine Spectator

Elegant und komplex: Guado al Tasso mit warm getöntem Bouquet und einer Fruchtfülle, die genauso überzeugt wie die harmonische Struktur. Tiefdunkles, sattes Rubin-Violett. Sehr klare und intensive Nase, duftet nach Brombeeren, Cassis und dunklen Kirschen, unterlegt von feinen, würzigen Noten mit Anklängen an weißen Pfeffer und Kardamom. Sehr saftig in Ansatz und Verlauf, zeigt viel süßen Schmelz, verwobenes, dichtmaschiges Tannin, geschmeidig und elegant, sehr langer Nachhall. Ein vorzüglicher Tropfen, der höchsten Trinkgenuss bietet. SUPERIORE.DE

"Funkelndes, sattes Rubin-Violett. Eröffnet mit Noten nach Tabak, dann reife Zwetschken, viel Holunderbeere, im Hintergrund etwas Lakritze. Am Gaumen stoffig und präsent, eröffnet mit satter Beerenfrucht, dichtmaschiges Tannin, saftig und im Finale satter Druck." Falstaff

"Rich, intense fruit flavors of black currant and black cherry are shaded by vanilla, toasty oak, iron, black olive and tobacco accents in this complex, harmonious red. Fine balance and a lingering finish cap it off." Wine Spectator

"The 2018 Guado al Tasso is silky, delicate and exceptionally polished. I can’t remember tasting another Guado like it. Medium in body and gracious, the 2018 offers up a compelling mélange of dark fruit, chocolate, cedar, licorice and dried herbs, all in a mid-weight style that is incredibly appealing. The 2018 has just been bottled, so it needs time to bounce back. I can’t wait to taste it with a bit more time in bottle." Vinous

"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

"Aromas of dark fruit and freshly milled white pepper replace the more banal cherry-based flavors delivered by the Merlot, and the wine appears more lifted and precise as a result. The Cabernet Sauvignon delivers spice and licorice, and these pretty aromas are likewise given more breathing room, thanks to the counterparts found in the Cabernet Franc. Linearity, sharpness, pencil shavings and dark currant or blackberry—this is the direction Guado al Tasso is taking, and this 2018 vintage opens the door to a new chapter for the wine." Robert Parker

"Guado al Tasso 2018 makes waves. Its nose has a leafy, almost herbal character and is quite different from the past vintages where the fruit was riper. The integration of this leafiness with restrained cassis is outstanding, the palate is silky and the tannins precise and creamy, with brilliant refreshing acidity. On the finish graphite minerality is elongated by the slightly bitter character of the wine. It represents faithfully the vintage and carries great complexity." Decanter
