Tenuta San Guido Guidalberto 2015 (750ML)

94 JS / 93 WE / 91 WA / 91 WS / 91 DE

Fantastic aromas of dried flowers, tiles, terracotta, plum and cherry follow through to a full body, dense and velvety tannins and a persistent finish that caresses your palate. Energy and balance. Beautiful now to drink but much better in 2020 when the wine comes together. - James Suckling

Redcurrant, blue flower, cedar and a hint of pine forest are just some of the aromas you'll find on this fragrant red. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the bright, savory palate doles out juicy raspberry, red cherry, tobacco and white pepper alongside fine-grained tannins while a licorice note graces the close. Enjoy through 2027. - Wine Enthusiast

The 2015 vintage promises good things in Tuscany and this wine offers an informal sneak peek at what we can expect from the celebrated Tenuta San Guido vineyards in Bolgheri. The 2015 Guidalberto opens to a darkly saturated garnet hue. It shows similar concentration and power in terms of its aromatic delivery. Aromas are shapely and round with dark fruit nuances followed by leather, spice and dark tar. The wine is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with a smaller part Merlot. You feel the lush softness of the second grape as the wine glides smoothly over the palate. It takes on more weight in the glass. This is a solid buy from Bolgheri on the Tuscany Coast. - Monica Larner, Wine Advocate
