Purchased from wine list at restaurant with a deep Italian list. I had tasted an older Guado a few years ago and loved it. This experience did not disappoint - it was drinking beautifully. The color was mainly still holding maybe a bit brownish around the edges. The fruit tannins and acids are fully resolved and have come together in an elegant effort that smells of earth and loam, but tastes for me of dark cocoa powder - simply delicious. We decanted and drank over the course of our Italian meal. Spent quite a bit of time talking with the somm Brad about his recent trip to spend a week with the Antinori. This was the last bottle they had in stock. Loved it!

香有brett的动物皮毛味,红黑果香,入口酸度很高,单宁细腻,酒液咸鲜,收口甜美,一些奶油质感,成熟黑果香气,淡淡泥土气息,酒精度不低,非常典型的意大利超托审美,那种跳跃的酸度也非常超托
