Product description

The 2021 Bolgheri Superiore Guado al Tasso is a wine that dances between finesse and power. This vintage showcases a polished character, emphasizing its silky tannins that embrace a core of black cherry, licorice, and mocha. The new addition of Cabernet Franc in the blend enhances its aromatic profile, creating a wine that is as intriguing as it is delightful. It spent 16 months aging in oak, developing a balance of flavors that is truly captivating.

This red is not just about its bold fruit; it’s a symphony of tastes. You’ll find notes of black currant, blackberry, and pomegranate, intertwined with hints of violet and wild herbs. The finish is long and harmonious, with lingering hints of mineral and cedar. Crafted with care, this wine is ready to be enjoyed now, but those with patience will be rewarded in a few years.

The 2021 Bolgheri Superiore Guado al Tasso is a very beautiful wine, but also quite a departure from the style that made it famous years ago. Readers will find an especially polished Guado al Tasso, a wine that emphasizes finesse more than power. Silky tannins wrap around a core of black cherry fruit, licorice, spice, mocha and new leather. Bright, saline undertones extend the exquisite finish. There's more Cabernet Franc in the blend these days, and that very much comes through in the wine's crazy aromatic presence and feel. The 2021 spent 16 months in wood, three months in used French oak barrels during the malolactic fermentation and then 14 months in barrel (80% new) for the rest of its aging. Gorgeous.

97 Wine Spectator
The pedigree and purity of this red are evident immediately from its black currant, blackberry, pomegranate, violet and wild herb aromas. Saturated with red and black fruit and picking up licorice and mineral elements, this is all about finesse and harmony. Cruises to the long finish, which is tinged with fruit, mineral, cedar, licorice and spice notes. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Best from 2026 through 2043.

97 James Suckling
This is really well crafted, with ultra-fine tannins that spread across the palate. It’s medium-bodied with a balance of currant, dark chocolate and hazelnut character. It’s so long and persistent, with gorgeous sophistication and unctuousness at the finish. Extremely well done. Drinkable now, but event better in two or three years.

95 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Marchesi Antinori 2021 Bolgheri Superiore Guado al Tasso is 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot and 29% Cabernet Franc from a hot year that also benefited from better underground water reserves because 2020 actually saw quite a bit of rain in Bolgheri and that moisture carried over. This wine is all forward thrust as a result, with a determined mouthfeel pushed over the palate thanks to plummy fruit, baked blackberry and sweet spice. The wine gracefully adds a spot of much-needed minerality that adds to the sensations of freshness. There is even some mint that livens up the mouthfeel.
