Wow!Fantastic ,thank you.💯👏👏👏🍷👌
Their wine sounds amazing. Thank you for posting🍷
Was gifted the 2001 Tig and it was outstanding. The problem now is how can I enjoy anything else not in that class now 🙁 lol
These are some of my favorite wines. All are beautiful in their own right. But have had wonderful success with some back vintages of Gaudo al Tasso. 10-15 years really does this wine well. I'm sure longer would even be wonderful, Even tho I am at times impatient. But the beauty of this wine with a bit of age, is great QPR in my eyes.
Thanks, John. My experience of supertuscans is limited to Tignanello and Sassicaia from many years ago. I remember that both were excellent but, unfortunately, I don't have notes I can refer to. Ornellaia is the only one on my bucket list (although I certainly wouldn't turn any of the others down if offered).
We had friends over for this last weekend and drunk, among other things: 2015 Val di Suga, Brunello di Montalcino; 2013 Mas de Daumas Gassac; and a Doisy Vedrines, 2013 Sauternes. The star was undoubtedly the Brunello – it developed beautifully in the glass. What a star (second favourite of the year so far). The Sauternes was excellent, too but I think the Mas de Daumas needs another year or two to develop some complexity. Fortunately I still have a few bottles of all three in the cellar.
Loving this video comparing these great wines in a pleasant and precise way. Antinori family really produces these super toscan ‘wines with that pertinent coupage that is to me, the most successful result. I have been lucky enough to try this three super toscan’s. There is something about Italian wines that alway leave me with a constant reflection, Do I love them because I taste the art of Italy in a glass? Because Italy is one of my favorite counties in the word? Or simply because their wine are very interesting to taste… The Bolgheri Superiore DOC, 'Guado al Tasso' ‘17 was one of the highlights of a tasting of many different types of Italian wines we try in Argentina, a few months ago. You brought up great memories with this fantastic video with great content, as per usual. Gratitudine eterna. Un abbraccio John! Santé🍷
Great video! One of my favorite wines is the Chianti Classico Riserva from Tenuta Tignanello, which is made with 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. It drinks like a baby Tignanello, especially in the better vintages like 2015/2016/2019 for almost 1/3 the price.
Several months ago I had a 2017 Guado Al Tasso. It was a very nice wine, though I’ll admit for the $130 I paid for it that there are others that I prefer. Maybe not by much, so I would buy another bottle and let it age longer to see how it is. It was very good but I just seem to usually prefer a Bordeaux.
All great wines ! But in my experience and taste, the one that ages the best is Solaia, cause in 10 to 15 years from release develops a seductive complexity thanks to the Sangiovese and it’s a more unique wine to taste , in comparison to the other 2 . Would love to hear your take on that .
Solaia is amazing but very expensive now. Really enjoyed your video many thanks 😊
Nice video John, these are fantastic wines! Only in Italy can you occasionally find a Tignanello for under €100. Even in restaurants they can be around €100, I believe Antinori gives discounts to local restaurants in the area to put it in their menus.
This video displays your unparalleled expertise in the three Super Tuscan wines produced by Antinori. Thank you for this informative and insightful content on Tignanello, Solaia, and Guado Al Tasso. I’m exposed to a lot of content about Super Tuscans, and I can definitely say that you are THE authority when it comes to this topic. Santé, John!
