2016 Guidalberto Tenuta San Guido 300 cl.

The 2016 Guidalberto is a sensational showing in this vintage. This begins with aromas of cherries and red plums, which come together with floral, spices and fresh minerality to fill the glass. On the palate this is medium-plus bodied, with excellent overall structure and finesse. This continues to impress as it displays outstanding balance and precision with a gorgeous silky mouthfeel and wonderful length on the pretty finish. This is already outstanding, but should also have a fantastic evolution ahead over the course of the next decade and beyond.

From near the Bolgheri coast, this shows San Guido's trademark elegance. Spices, leather, floral notes; ripe, pure cassis and glossy tannins. A great-value alternative to Sassicaia.

This is extremely perfumed with aromas of lavender, cinnamon, blackberries, bark and blackcurrants. Full- bodied, extremely refined and polished. Gorgeous fruit and balance. Best ever bottling of this pretty wine from the producers of Sassicaia? Drink or hold.

This wine is showing exceptionally well in this classic vintage. The 2016 Guidalberto (Cabernet Sauvignon and a smaller percentage of Merlot) opens to a full and generous bouquet and a beautifully rich and velvety appearance. This edition of Tenuta San Guido's mid-level wine offers a bigger aromatic profile, more texture and more volume as well. Dark cherry and blackberry segue to spice, tar, leather and sweet fruit at the end. The mouthfeel is elegantly shaped, silky and nuanced. This may well be the best vintage of Guidalberto I have yet to taste-and you can get this wine at a great price too. 2019 - 2030.

The 2016 Guidalberto is a wine of total precision and class. Nuanced and beautifully perfumed, with a good kick of mid-palate juiciness from the Merlot, the 2016 dazzles from the very first taste. Dark red cherry, plum, spice and floral notes add complexity on the persistent, silky finish. This is very nicely done.

This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot opens with aromas of black currant, star anise and a whiff of incense. It's savory and elegant, doling out flavors of dried black cherry, raspberry jam, white pepper and licorice. Fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity provide balanced support. Enjoy through 2027.

Shy on the nose and a touch grassy, this is lean and elegant, with black cherry, black currant, earth and spice flavors. Dense tannins underscore everything, and this finishes long. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now through 2024. 25,000 cases made.-BS

Intens mørk moden frugt af kirsebær og brombær. Ristet kaffe, kamfer, blyant og grøn peber. En god portion fin garvesyre og en fylde der bakker hele oplevelsen op. Stor vin.
