Guado al Tasso 2017 Antinori

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (91)

This is another extremely popular wine that is easily found up and down the Tuscan Coast. This red blend (with the largest part of the blend going to Cabernet Sauvignon) opens to a soft and velvety texture. The 2017 Bolgheri Rosso Il Bruciato offers some noticeable ripeness with black cherry, prune and raisin. But ultimately, the wine shows a good level of freshness because the acidity in the grapes was concentrated (like everything else in this hot vintage) in the year’s smaller berries. Tenuta Guado al Tasso extends over 340 hectares. Because of the hot vintage, only 65,000 cases were made of this wine instead of the 100,000 cases produced in a normal vintage.

Lovely depth of fruit with an intensity and beauty. Full-bodied, focused and pure. A blend of 60% cabernet sauvignon, 20% cabernet franc and 20% merlot.
