Score 92/100 · Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, Oct 2023

Concentrated and dense, with dark fruit flavors of blackberry, blueberry and black currant, this red also reveals black olive and iron accents. The tannins clamp down for now, yet this is balanced overall, with everything well-proportioned. Long finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2026 through 2038. 35,400 cases made.

A classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the Tenuta San Guido 2021 Guidalberto shows tart cherry fruit with darker tones of blackberry and plum. This vintage delivers especially chiseled and focused fruit characteristics that are elegantly framed by light spice, cola and earth. This vintage shows a heightened sense of intensity and territorial identity that is the hallmark of this storied estate.

Aromas of blackcurrants, dark cherries, chocolate, ground spices and crushed rocks. Medium- to full-bodied with compact but supple and polished tannins. Shows savory notes with hints of dried mushrooms and chocolate. Attractive with a lingering finish. Drink or hold.

Full bottle just 1,258 g. This sample has followed hot on the heels of the 2020! Lively crimson. Far from the most opulent vintage of this little brother to Sassicaia. It's presumably designed to be a little drier and more austere than most Bolgheri bordeaux blends, but the 2021 takes this to quite a degree. It's like a red bordeaux of 2021 or the early 1990s! Really a very dry, slightly tart wine. It may well blossom with time.
