Marchesi Antinori

Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Superiore Red Bordeaux Blend 2021

Super Tuscan blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (58%), Cabernet Franc (29%) and Merlot (13%). Dark ruby color. Aromas of red and black fruit, anise,purple flowers and leather. Flavors of black cherry/plum/berry fruit, black licorice, cocoa powder and sweet baking spices. Lovely mineral and minty tones on the long and lingering finish. Silky tannins and a velvety texture. Loaded with finesse and wonderful freshness. Enjoyed with Petey and Kase (Thanks Guys) on the beach in Cape May, NJ. — a month ago

Pio Cesare

Il Bricco Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2019

Reddish in color with medium plus intensity.

Pretty nose of wild flowers, red cherries, currants, light wood, tobacco, chocolates and coffee.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, licorice, earth, tobacco, herbs, peppercorn, dark chocolates, coffee and light tar.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a tasty Barbaresco. Elegant and nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

Still very young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Needed a few hours to open up, so be patient. Tannins show up after 2 hours of airtime, and bring structure to the wine.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years, and showing good potential to become a 93+ point wine.

This Single Vineyard Nebbiolo is very complex, engaging and a good food wine.

100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged in French and Hungarian oak barrels for 24 months. A limited production of less than 8,000 bottles.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$150.

This is a serious wine - understated, tannic, alot going on. Agree w other reviewers that this vintage may be a bit young to crack open - didn't feel fully integrated yet. — 2 months ago

La Spinetta

Il Nero di Casanova Toscana Sangiovese 2020

Dark ruby color with a slight brick rim. Aromas of cherry, bramble berries, leather, orange zest and dusty earth. Flavors of black cherry/berry/raspberry/plum fruit, blueberries, tobacco and savory spices. Intense earthy quality on the long finish. Mouth watering acidity and very silky tannins. Medium-plus body. A bit of heft and intensity. Solid weeknight option. — 4 months ago

Marchesi Antinori

Tenuta Guado al Tasso Cont'Ugo Bolgheri Merlot 2022

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Red and black fruits on the nose with tobacco, light wood, licorice, chocolates, black pepper, herbs and spices.

Full bodied and soft with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, red currants, sweet raspberries, coffee, sweet oak, chocolates, licorice, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, earth and mediterranean spices.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 4 year old Super Tuscan Merlot is drinking very nicely now. Nicely balanced and elegant. Complex and entertaining.

Needs a couple of hours to open up properly, and balance itself out.

Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.

Wine Spectator 94 points.

I had the 2021 vintage a couple of years ago at the winery, and it was much better. The 2022 vintage was not as good as the 2021, so there's that.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food.

100% Merlot grapes were aged in French oak barrels for 12 months.

14% alcohol by volume.

91 points.
