2013 Guidalberto
Buying options
Tasting notes
The 2013 Guidalberto offers lovely depth, juiciness and plumpness. This is a decidedly exuberant, racy Guidalberto. Open-knit and delicious, with striking aromatics, the 2013 is expressive today and should continue to drink well for the next 7-10 years, give or take. Sweet red cherry, plum, cinnamon and new leather meld into the supple finish.

Brilliant crimson and a well married, already open, appetising blend with a tangy, dry finish. Mid weight and inoffensive. Self contained and the opposite of flashy. (JR)
Beautiful and bold, the 2013 Guidalberto is one of the best editions of this wine ever made. It shows great energy and momentum with dark fruit, spice, tobacco and black truffle that come together with impeccable unity. I love the heft and power that supports this wine at the back. Its tannic structure is firm but velvety and will continue to soften as the wine evolves over the next few years. I would suggest holding onto this bottle for three to four more years before popping the cork.
Cool, leafy, cassis nose with perfectly judged oak note and with a hint of tobacco leaf. Transparent and juicy with fine, persistent tannins. Moreish and ready now. (WS)
