Summary

The Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Superiore 1998, a luxurious Super Tuscan blend from Antinori's esteemed estate, showcases the region's exceptional terroir with its pebble-rich soils near the Tyrrhenian Sea. This full-bodied wine, composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 10% Syrah, underwent 14 months in new French oak, resulting in a harmonious integration of flavors. Tasting notes reveal a rich profile of blackberries, cassis, and mocha, complemented by hints of violet and spice. Its velvety tannins and well-balanced acidity enhance its elegant structure, making it a standout vintage that promises longevity and complexity. Magnums of this vintage are particularly sought after for their aging potential.
