Antinori's Guado Al Tasso Estate, located on the Bolgheri Coast, is one of their most exciting legs, and we have the fantastic new release of their gems, the Bolgheri Superiore—a blend Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Guado Al Tasso is one of the best when considering the top Tuscan wines and competes with bottles twice the price, like Ornellaia, which scored just a point higher in this vintage from Galloni. 2021 is a stunning example that captures the energy of the Bolgheri Coast and is among the best examples of all time, on par with the magnificent 2015 but slightly different. This is more of a very refined and elegant example, as Galloni notes in his review, and with more finesse than power, which we think our clients will love. It's one of the top buys of the vintage for Bolgheri, and we have a limited amount at this low pricing.
Antonio Galloni 98 points! "The 2021 Bolgheri Superiore Guado al Tasso is a very beautiful wine, but also quite a departure from the style that made it famous years ago. Readers will find an especially polished Guado al Tasso, a wine that emphasizes finesse more than power. Silky tannins wrap around a core of black cherry fruit, licorice, spice, mocha and new leather. Bright, saline undertones extend the exquisite finish. There's more Cabernet Franc in the blend these days, and that very much comes through in the wine's crazy aromatic presence and feel. The 2021 spent 16 months in wood, three months in used French oak barrels during the malolactic fermentation and then 14 months in barrel (80% new) for the rest of its aging. Gorgeous. </br> </br>Antinori turned out a superb Guado al Tasso in 2021. Like all the Antinori wines these days, Guado al Tasso benefits from a more finessed approach than in the past. Franc features significantly in the 2021, and that comes through in the wine’s aromatic profile and overall feel." 02/24"
