Guado al Tasso Superiore 1998

Head oenologist Renzo Cotarella calls 1998 the ‘first great vintage’ of Guado al Tasso, thanks to the warmest summer temperatures until 2022. Evolved fragrances of black tea and macerated dark berries with some damp earth introduce a fleshy mouthful of dark cherry, herbs and spice, with some menthol and sottobosco. Fine, grippy tannins and good balance complete the picture. Drinking beautifully now. Poured from magnum (the best way to enjoy older vintages!).
