Meningen over 2024 Guidalberto (0,375L)

Arjen Rutten, Falstaff: 95

"A powerful, brilliant ruby red with a subtle violet sheen. Opens with appealing notes of smoke and black truffle, followed by plenty of blackberry, with a hint of dried tomatoes in the background. It hits the palate with rich fruit expression, spreads beautifully, features plenty of fine-grained tannins, is exceptionally polished, has a broad structure, is juicy, and finishes with a long aftertaste."

"Aromas of currants, cedar, mahogany, bark and orange peel say this is distinctly Tuscan. It’s medium-bodied with softness and freshness that bring you back for more. Very soft yet fine tannins. Juicy and subtle. So delicious now. Drink or hold."

Arjen Rutten, Decanter: 93

"Almost equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, Guidalberto remains impressive value for the quality on offer, but buyers should be aware that 2024 is a lighter offering with less density of fruit than in previous years. But those who embrace the vintage will be rewarded with a juicy dark berry core with velvety tannins and flecks of cherry and pomegranate. Lifted herbal and floral aromatics make this so inviting. Breezy, easy and fun."
