  Lovely, really lovely.
  
  2 hour+ decant. Drank over the following few hours. This really stayed on it's toes and kept the drive and persistence going.
  
  Loads of blueberry, blackberry, black cherry, and red currants on the palate. This Italian Bordeaux blend is rustic, elegant, and focused. The subtle mid to long finish, had me wanting more. (And more I had ;)
  
  Some dusty tannins are present but I certainly didn't mind it and didn't take away from my enjoyment of this. They should however meld with more time in the bottle. Perhaps another 2 years.
  
  There's nothing not to like here, at least not for me.

  From magnum. Brought with us to Prime 88 in Brooksville to share with friends. Still a youthful-looking, dark magenta in color - right up to the edge. Very powerful and complex aromas of leather, tobacco, baking spices and Tuscan soil on the nose. On the palate this took a good 45 minutes to finally open up. Kept getting better and better throughout the evening. Full-bodied and rich in texture, but not over done. Bursting with a dazzling assortment of dark currant, plum and blackberry fruit flavors. Shows excellent depth and focus on the mid-palate. Finishes extremely long with prominent notes of licorice, spice and mineral. The velvety tannins are just beginning to integrate in this format. Complex, harmonious and delicious. A magnificent Guado al Tasso that is powerful, yet elegant. Paired beautifully with the Porterhouse for two that Kerry and I shared.
  50+5+13+18+9=95

  Too young to rate. Overpowering tannins currently overmatching the fruit and character. Wait 5 years.

  Incredible showing for the 2015 Guado Al Tasso. This may be Italy’s most underrated great wine. Bravo.
