Dark crimson though slightly paler than the 2007. Still very youthful. Bloody and rich and ripe. Big and bold. The Cabernet Sauvignon was picked in late September when it was much lighter than in 2007. It does remind me a lot of an excellent 2009 red bordeaux. A bit hot on the end. Still unevolved. But sleek and impressively velvety. Masses of (ripe) tannin. (JR)

Best Guado al Tasso ever. Wonderful nose of crushed blackberries and cherries with hints of dark chocolate. Full-bodied, with soft and round tannins and a long, long finish. It goes on for minutes. Now just a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Better after 2015.

The 2009 Bolgheri Superiore Guado al Tasso impresses for its richness and sheer power. Mocha, sweet spices, plums, blackberries and herbs wrap around the palate as this intense wine shows off its pedigree. Layers of flavor build to the deep, intensely satisfying finish. The 2009 is complete and harmonious from the very first taste. In 2009 the blend is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot.
