Wine Spectator Grand Tour (Las Vegas, NV): Tenuta San Guido's 2021 Guidalberto is a 60/40 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that was aged for 15 months in a combination of French (95%) and American (5%) oak barriques, with 40% of all barrels being new. Deep ruby in color, it serves up an aroma and flavor profile of black currants, Montmorency cherries, baking spices, Kalamata olives, tobacco and loam. Medium-to-full-bodied, freshly acidic and without any heat from its 13.5% alcohol, it incorporates its wood and medium-weight tannins quite well even at this early stage. Dense in the middle and concluding with a lengthy, racy finish, this is a delightful Bordeaux blend with an Italian flair. Enjoy it over the next 10-12 years. Drink now-2036.

That 2021 is on pair with the 2018, again the qualities shown in colder and more difficult vintages suits the Bolgheri area and the Left bank style !
Restraind nose, coffee beans, not very ripe, one smell the peppery and vegetal side of CS, it is subtle oak and smoke...
palate is tight and acid, very sharp and savory, long and bright ! great wine, will certainly age for 10/12 and then show how brilliant it really is !
No wonder Sassicaia 2021 got really high marks !

Notes of cherry, plum, oak, vanilla, and tobacco. Graceful and elegant on the palate.
