Guidalberto Toscana Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot

Terrific. Loved it at our return to our favorite local Italian restaurant.

From the makers of Sassicaia, Deep Ruby with red & black fruits and floral aromas of this 60% Cab Sauv 40% Merlot blend. On the palate flavors of cherry, currants and blackberry with cinnamon, licorice, cacao and earthy notes, well integrated. Fine tannins, approachable, a wine with a solid structure, elegant and smooth, long finish, great mouth feel ending with fruit and spicy oak. Decant! Will age well over next 5 years. Tasting Sample.

Nose - clay pot, thyme and cherry. Main flavors - cranberry. Chewy and lovely!!

I don't like this wine

Not bad but not mindblowing. Bit jammy.

Si Guido, si!

Lovely and lively. Very light body (almost Pinot like). Bright acidity. Medium tannins. Enjoying this one.

Maybe it will open up with a few hours of air or maybe it needs a few more years but at the moment really disappointing. Mainly sour fruit and tannin and then an oaky leathery finish. Would be disappointed had I spent $14 rather than $44.

Winestone.

After decanting for a while, this wine was a marvellous blend of being smooth, rich and fruity. I can’t imagine how delightful this vintage will be in another 5 years time.
