Guado Al Tasso 2007

Antinori

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 97.0

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and occasionally a small amount of Petit Verdot to best represent the complexity and elegance of the Bolgheri terroir. This wine has been produced since 1990 from vineyards on alluvial soils whose composition ranges from clay-sand to clay-loam with rocky deposits know as “scheletro”.

Marchesi Antinori Srl is an Italian wine company that can trace its history back to 1385. They are one of the biggest wine companies in Italy, and their innovations played a large part in the “Super-Tuscan” revolution of the 1970s.

Jane Anson

This is intense and smoky, with liquorice and bitter dark chocolate notes layered on top of smoked almonds. The tannins really push their way through to the front of the mouth. This feels like it needs a good long time to further soften and it is the result of an excellent growing season. A warm spring was followed by some August rains and then a fine, dry harvest period with day-night temperature swings that ensured great concentration in the grapes. The team has used 3% Petit Verdot, which completes the blend. All vineyard plots were vinified separately, with malolactic fermentation taking place in new oak barrels. Blending was done after the component wines were aged in barrel, followed by 10 months of ageing in the bottle before release.

Still pretty purplish crimson. Really rather refined on the nose with lovely fragrance. Lightly minty. Can this really come from just 10% Cabernet Franc? Lovely lift and an edge of savour. A very gentle texture. Long and appetising. Really fine. Sweet but not heavy.
