1999 Tenuta Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Superiore 1.5L

Norbert says:
Today, the Bolgheri region is particularly famous for its great red wines. Here is the world-famous Tenuta Guado al Tasso. Almost 100 km southwest of Florence, between Livorno and Grosseto, on the Tuscan coast, the winery extends on a beautiful plain, from the green hills around the ancient castle town of Bolgheri to the sea. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Convincing bouquet, with notes of blueberries and vanilla, smooth appearance on the palate, the tannins are polished, the acidity is perfectly integrated. It has density and yet has a freshness that does the opulence of the finale good. Expected maturity now until 2028.
