The 2015 Bolgheri Superiore Guado Al Tasso is another star performer from a vintage that was tailor-made by some higher being specifically for the blended red wines of Tuscany. This mix of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot slides seamlessly right in there with our highest expectations of the iconic vintage. The wine offers beautiful intensity and purity, yet it also delivers balanced power and lasting persistence. This is a baritone expression from Bolgheri on the Tuscan coast with impenetrable black fruit, chocolate and tobacco followed by rich concentration and tightly knit texture. I tasted this wine next to a barrel sample of the unfinished 2016 vintage. This vintage appears more exuberant and opulent at this early stage. Some 120,000 bottles were made.

So much blue fruit such as blueberries and blackberries; the purity of the fruit is incredible. Essence of cabernet sauvignon. Full-bodied yet with focused and fine tannins. Forceful but focused and polished. Needs two or three years to come around. And then enjoy for years afterwards.

A thick, muscular red, featuring black currant, blackberry, licorice, mint, earth and leather aromas and flavors. Dense and builds to a lingering aftertaste, yet needs time to unpack all its facets. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2022 through 2035. From Italy.—B.S.

Antinori - Tenuta Guado al Tasso
Le long de la côte sauvage de la Toscane, royaume de la biodiversité, Guado al Tasso se classe parmi les producteurs vedettes de la DOC Bolgheri. Surplombant la Mer Tyrrhénienne sur quatre kilomètres, la « cantina » se trouve à Maremme, à une heure au sud de la célèbre ville de Pise. Non content de s’inscrire dans le portefeuille étoffé d’exploitations de haute volée appartenant à l’illustre famille Antinori, ce domaine lui sert aussi de lieu de villégiature estival. Sur plus de 600 hectares de terres, la propriété recouvre à la fois des vignes et des zones boisées, qui contrastent avec les plages toutes proches et mettent en valeur la faune et la flore indigènes. La « tenuta » élabore deux merveilleux vins blancs, un rosé et plusieurs rouges de première classe. Guado al Tasso s’oriente de plus en plus vers le style bordelais en rouge, ayant davantage recours aux grands contenants en bois et moins au bois neuf. Le porte-étendard du domaine, Guado al Tasso, exprime les caractéristiques puissantes de la haute Maremme, compensées par une élégance et une finesse d’ensemble. Le second vin, Il Bruciato, incarne la même philosophie d’excellence mais se montre néanmoins accessible, aux arômes discrets d’épices et à la longue finale agréable sur le fruit.
