Tenuta Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Superiore 2011

An iconic Super Tuscan from Antinori's coastal estate, the 2011 Guado al Tasso reveals expressive aromas of ripe black plum, cassis, dark cherry, sweet tobacco, espresso, and Mediterranean scrub. The palate is rich, full-bodied, and velvety, offering concentrated dark fruit flavors, polished tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, complex, spice-infused finish.

Food Pairing: Pair with Florentine T-bone steak, roasted rack of lamb, wild boar ragu, braised beef short ribs, or aged Pecorino cheese.

95 Points - James Suckling

A dense, layered red with asphalt, berry and clove character. Figs too. Full body, chewy tannins and a juicy finish. Needs time to soften. Better in 2017.

92 Points - Wine Spectator

Inky in color and flavor, with black currant and blackberry fruit, this is pure and focused, with well-integrated tannins and a saturated finish echoing the fruit. Best from 2016 through 2024. 3,250 cases imported.
