This has a wild and perfumed nose of dried thyme, sage, blackberries, cocoa, graphite and white and green peppercorns. Then dried flowers. Full-bodied with firm, tight and precise tannins. Vibrant. There’s so much character and structure. A new benchmark for this winery. More cabernet franc than in the past. Best yet? 65% cabernet sauvignon, 25% cabernet franc and 10% merlot. Try from 2025.

I've been tracking the increasing percentage of Cabernet Franc in the blend of this iconic Tuscan wine. The 2019 Bolgheri Superiore Guado al Tasso is made with 25% Cabernet Franc, with 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot. That this heat-resistant grape now makes up a quarter of the blend speaks to how vintners are gearing up to counter climate change. These are intelligent choices, and you can count on this wine to maintain that level of extreme elegance and intensity that it is known for (even when Merlot was a bigger part of the blend). Indeed, this is a new and improved Guado al Tasso with focused aromas of pencil shaving, white pepper and crushed stone that frame a rich core of black fruit. A fluttering of dried mint gives lift and power to the bouquet. This is a beautifully linear and powerful red blend.

Smooth and opulent, with black currant, blackberry and plum fruit accented by cedar, vanilla and iron notes. Dense and complex, yet accessible, this is balanced and persistent on the lingering aftertaste. Decant now or wait another year or two. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2024 through 2040.

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.
