Medium to full-bodied

leather and licorice meld into the expressive finish

all supported by firm and even borderline rustic tannins that contrast considerably with the sleek mid-palate texture

A completely backward but superbly complex nose displays layered aromas that run to game and underbrush as well as ripe red and dark berry fruit trimmed in a bit of wood toast that give way to rich

it reminds me a bit of the 2008

Antinori, Guado Al Tasso other_regions_italy Medium to full-bodiedAntinori s 2006 Guado al Tasso is a dark, sensual beauty imbued with the essence of black pepper, earthiness and dark fruit. Today the wine remains quite fresh and in need of further bottle age. As outstanding as the Guado al Tasso is, it doesn t quite have the level of fleshiness and depth that is found in so many wines from Bolgheri in 2006. Guado al Tasso is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Syrah. Anticipated maturity, 2012 2022.
