From the makers of Sassicaia, Deep Ruby with red & black fruits and floral aromas of this 60% Cab Sauv 40% Merlot blend. On the palate flavors of cherry, currants and blackberry with cinnamon, licorice, cacao and earthy notes, well integrated. Fine tannins, approachable, a wine with a solid structure, elegant and smooth, long finish, great mouth feel ending with fruit and spicy oak. Decant! Will age well over next 5 years. Tasting Sample.

Maybe it will open up with a few hours of air or maybe it needs a few more years but at the moment really disappointing. Mainly sour fruit and tannin and then an oaky leathery finish. Would be disappointed had I spent $14 rather than $44.

After decanting for a while, this wine was a marvellous blend of being smooth, rich and fruity. I can’t imagine how delightful this vintage will be in another 5 years time.

Wine o'clock watch pairing ...
Mid-2000s Omega Speedmaster Reduced II 3539.50.
This Guido needs a lot more time for my taste. It opens with promising barnyard aromas that subside and give way to oak -- which are fairly dominant in my opinion. Unripe red fruits, a mineral/metallic cherry taste (I know, makes no sense). Medium bodied, medium alcohol, double dry tannins. Finish of sour cherry.
I will buy another bottle to hold for 2-3 years and expect I'll score it 2 points higher meanwhile in Sept 2020, it's a 91+ on my scale.
