This vintage exhibits a captivating tension, showcasing vibrant notes of tart cherry and wild berry, harmoniously complemented by fresh bay leaf, subtle spice, and hints of pressed lavender buds. A touch of black olive adds complexity to this exquisite blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Anticipate a delightful journey from 2022 to 2030.
The 2020 Guidalberto is a gorgeous, classy wine. Less opulent than it can be, the 2020 impresses with its energy and drive. Sweet red cherry, plum, mint, rose petal, cedar and pipe tobacco all take shape in this super-attractive, mid-weight offering from Tenuta San Guido. There's a bit more Merlot in the 2020, but Guidalberto is increasingly made from lots that don't make it into Sassicaia, which explains the style of recent vintages. This is a terrific showing, especially considering the recent bottling. It's a fine relative value in Bolgheri's high-rent district. Drink 2024-2032.
