Guado al Tasso | Antinori

Hier kommt der zweite Jahrgang des neuen Weins von Guadoal Tasso. Ein großer Merlot aus Bolgheri, auf den die Welt gewartet hat... Dunkles Rubinviolett, duftet nach schwarzen Johannisbeeren und entfaltet sich mit hervorragender Länge, straffem Tannin und betont würziger Note im Finale. Wir sind gespannt, zu welch' elegantem Höhenflug er in den nächsten Jahren noch ansetzen wird. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark purple-tinged ruby. Deep aromas and flavors of dark ripe cherry, smoky plum, mocha, and menthol. More austere on the palate, with coffee and tar notes complicating the dark fruit flavors. This very promising, multilayered merlot finishes with terrific length." Ian d’Agata (vinous.com)

"Made entirely with Merlot, this wine offers aromas of ripe plum, dark berry and cooking spice. The firm palate delivers a core of black cherry alongside notes of black pepper, clove and anise. It’s elegantly balanced with fine-grained tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"The 2012 Cont'Ugo, 100% Merlot from the Antinori family's Guado al Tasso property in Bolgheri, is shaping up to be another beauty. Mocha, black cherries, menthol, licorice and spices are all woven together gracefully. The rich, resonant finish is classic Bolgheri." Antonio Galloni

Elegant und komplex: Guado al Tasso aus dem Top-Jahrgang 2013 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

"This is a fantastic wine. The 2013 Bolgheri Superiore Guado Al Tasso reveals soaring aromas of dark fruit, plum, blackberry, savory spice, tobacco and leather. The results are seamless, harmonious and generous in intensity. This is the quintessential red blend from Coastal Tuscany and the 2013 vintage is particularly rooted in a profound sense of place. I am reminded of the macchia mediterranea, or Mediterranean shrub, that grows so wild and free in this relatively untouched part of Tuscany. This is an excellent wine that shows its winemaking pedigree, but make no mistake: It is a proud Tuscan at heart." Robert Parker

"Antinori's 2013 Bolgheri Superiore Guado al Tasso is ripe, voluptuous and racy, with striking aromatics that sit on top of a core of voluptuous, racy fruit. A classic Bolgheri wine, Guado al Tasso offers plenty of rich, sumptuous fruit and textural resonance. A good dose of new French oak adds raciness and toasty notes, but those characteristics marry nicely with the expression of fruit that is so typical of the Tuscan coast. Rose petal, lavender and new leather add striking aromatic lift as the wine opens up in the glass. The 2013 is a terrific Guado al Tasso." Antonio Galloni

"This is a very sleek and racy wine with lots of stone, white pepper and fresh rosemary character. Then takes off with dried ripe fruits such as currants and blueberries. Dark chocolate too. This a real mouthful yet remains agile and powerful. Linear and long finish. Great precision. Best ever from Guado al Tasso?" James Suckling
