cassis and plum that exhibit interesting wisps of leather and smoke

it reminds me a bit of the 2008

youthfully austere and built-to-age finish that just goes on and on

This stunner is a classically styled Malconsorts that is made in a ‘buy and forget you own it’ style

polished river stone

Antinori, Guado Al Tasso other_regions_italy cassis and plum that exhibitAntinori s 2006 Guado al Tasso is a dark, sensual beauty imbued with the essence of black pepper, earthiness and dark fruit. Today the wine remains quite fresh and in need of further bottle age. As outstanding as the Guado al Tasso is, it doesn t quite have the level of fleshiness and depth that is found in so many wines from Bolgheri in 2006. Guado al Tasso is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Syrah. Anticipated maturity, 2012 2022.
