Guado Al Tasso is blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and - occasionally - a small proportion of Petit Verdot, grapes that best represent the complexity and elegance of the Bolgheri terroir. The bouquet of this 1997 vintage is generous and opulent, filled with dark berries, spices, liquorice and leather. Firm fruit on the palate and plump tannins. Ready to drink now but can also be kept in the cellar for a few more years.
