Tenuta San Guido Guidalberto 2020 Magnum

Bright, intense ruby colour with a slight violet hue. Opens with notes of spicy cedar wood, some cinnamon, then lots of blackberry and blueberry. Full-bodied and with good density on the palate, but also shows good drinking flow, lots of fine-meshed tannins, firm pressure on the finish.

The 2020 Guidalberto is taut and tight with plenty of tart cherry and wild berry. The wine offers great freshness and tension with bay leaf, spice, wild cherry and pressed lavender buds. There is a hint of black olive too. The blend is equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

Nice freshness on the palate with plums and berries and citrusy acidity. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins and a powdery texture. Hints of mushrooms. You can enjoy this young, but it will age nicely, too. Drink or hold.
