Guado al Tasso 2012

Poised and focused, this is a young red that shows great complexity and style with lots of blackberry, mint, spice and rosemary aromas that follow through to a full body, chewy tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Needs two to four years to soften. Rivals Antinori’s Solaia in 2012. Try in 2017 [and drink through mid-2030s]. Score – 96. (jamessuckling.com, Aug. 5, 2015)
