Red Wine from Bolgheri

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: The blackberry and blueberry aromas with fresh sage and bay-leaf character are impressive. Stone, graphite and mineral undertones. Full body and silky and refined tannins. Dusty. Elegance and polish. Shows greatness in...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: The 2015 Bolgheri Superiore Guado Al Tasso is another star performer from a vintage that was tailor-made by some higher being specifically for the blended red wines of Tuscany. This mix of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20%...

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: An astoundingly vibrant, powerful and concentrated Ornellaia that has a wealth of intense dark cherries, mulberries and plums with hints of espresso, dark cocoa powder and cedar. The concentrated palate is framed in long...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: (94-95) A juicy and rich red with plum and cherry character. Medium to full body, soft tannins and a pretty finish. Very fine and polished. Lovely length. A blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot.

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: Complex aromas of dark berries, fresh herbs, sweet tobacco and crushed flowers. Very integrated and polished with beautiful fruit and richness. Yet, very reserved and tight. A blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: So much fresh pressed violet and blackberry character as well as iodine, quartz, slate and tile. Full body, grippy yet linear and polished tannins, fine acidity and a long, minerally finish. So refined. Drink in 2020.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The 2013 Bolgheri Superiore Guado de' Gemoli is a plush and rich red wine with bold and opulent tones of red fruit, spice and scorched earth. The results are balanced and ripe. There is a tight bite of tannins on the...

Decanter, 96 points: 1996 should be considered a classic vintage, as it is in Bordeaux. This wine is not rich and is in fact quite austere, yet delicious to drink now with rich dishes such as braised beef cheek. It's full of elegance, with a...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: A solid wine, with wonderful structure for aging, but still closed and not giving much at this stage. Dark-ruby color, with smoke, berry and cherry aromas and flavors. Loads of velvety tannins, full body and a long...

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: I drank this at one of my favorite wine destinations in Tuscany: L'Enoteca Marcucci in Pietrasanta. 1994 is a weak year for Tuscany, but this wine goes. Pleasant and fruity but a little diluted. Medium body with fine...

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: Cellar Selection. Deep and delicious, with an earth-driven nose that conveys quality. Chunky plum pervades the chewy, dark palate, which offers a gorgeous mouthfeel and admirable depth. Only on the finish do you get a...
