The 2014 Guado al Tasso is a less structured wine than usual but one with a crisp, savory finish & a balanced & complex fragrance. The nose shows notes of cherries under spirits, tobacco, candied oranges & spices. The palate is vibrant, supple & persistent with a spicy finish & aftertaste. In this vintage, it was decided to use a larger percentage of Merlot & to eliminate the Petit Verdot.
