Guado Al Tasso 2006 - 6 Litre Bottle

The Guado al Tasso Estate is located in the prestigious Bolgheri DOC, part of the Tuscan coastal area of Maremma, known for its untamed landscape and unspoiled beauty. Just 60 miles southwest of Florence, it sits on a magnificent plain in the heart of the Bolgheri amphitheatre, a natural phenomenon created by hills that embrace the sea and produce a mild and temperate microclimate. 

Blessed with ample sunshine and constant breezes that take the edge off the summer heat and winter cold, Guado al Tasso is the ideal environment for cultivating healthy vine growth and proper ripening of the estate's grapes.

The nose is very refined and elegant, with fragrant, sweet aromas. The aromas are well integrated, with harmony between the fruity and balsamic notes. The palate is consistent and elegant, from the attack, through the mid-palate to the finish. The aftertaste matches the characteristics of the aromas giving a long, pleasant finish. 

97 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Guado al Tasso is finally back. The 2006 expression is a study of purity, focus and excellence. This wine is impressive on all levels in terms of intensity, personality, and persistence. It's rich and luscious with smooth tannins and lasting flavours of blackberry and spice.

95 Points - Wine Spectator

This racy and refined red shows intense aromas of blackberry, currant and dried flowers that follow through to a full body, with sleek, minerally undertones and super-polished tannins. Made for aging. A more refined, new style of Guado. 

95 Points - James Suckling

This is very floral and pretty on the nose with violets, licorice, berries, currants, and a hint of coffee. Full-bodied, soft and round with a gorgeously long finish. Incredible class and depth with a long finish. Precision. Get started on this one tonight.
