Tenuta Guado al Tasso Il Bruciato Bolgheri Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2022
Paired with Bolognese sauce. Nice wine with food. 2022 vintage - really should have been decanted first. Solid depth and good fruit. Tannins hit up front a bit too much. — 6 months ago

Nice bottle. A bit drier than expected and thinner. However, really nice depth and finish. Tobacco and tart cherries. Almost a cousin to Chianti Classico.
