  Decanted for an hour. Beautifully textured wine, blackberry, blackcurrant, mocha, tar, tobacco. The balance of acidity and the integration of the tannins at this point in the drinking window made this an excellent experience. Guado rarely disappoints!

  What a delicious wine. One hour decant. Dark, almost brooding fruit on the nose, with vegetal hints of green pepper. Tar, cocoa, dark berry flavors. Intense but also approachable, with enough acidity and integrated tannins to keep it fresh. The last sips were fabulous with a dark chocolate dessert.

  A dark colour; very rich and full, with concentrated blackcurrant/blackberry fruit, quite a thick texture and good length. Excellent wine, nicely mature but with years to go.

  Drank this bottle at Cook & Brew during the Little Red Dot 3rd Anniversary Dinner. Theme of the evening: Cabernet Sauvignon based wines which are more than 12 years and above $120.
  
  Distinct violets on the nose, coupled with bright red fruits and a touch of herbs and spices. The leathery and tobacco notes are showing but not showy. There is a well defined style to this Super Tuscan. So similar to left-bank Bordeauxs, yet different.
  
  End with a quality clean finish. Definitely one of the best value Super Tuscans in the market.
