Critical Acclaim
Decanter – 95pts
Guidalberto 2020 Is A Blend Of 50% Merlot And 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, Matured For 15 Months In Oak (20% New), Including A Small Percentage Of American Oak. The Aromas Are A Little Heavier, With Ripe Dark Fruit And A Fragrant, Floral Note. It’s A Little Less Finely Detailed Aromatically Than The 2021, With Some Smoke, Spice And Green Herb Qualities. The Palate Is Round, Medium-Full Bodied With Juicy, Bright Acidity. It’s A Very Friendly Wine With Very Fine Tannins And There’s A Little More Grip And Silty Texture To The Tannins.

James Suckling – 92pts
Nice Freshness On The Palate With Plums And Berries And Citrusy Acidity. It’s Medium-Bodied With Fine Tannins And A Powdery Texture. Hints Of Mushrooms. You Can Enjoy This Young, But It Will Age Nicely, Too.
