These are two very pretty 2018s from Antinori's Guado al Tasso property. Winemaker Marco Ferrarese certainly got the most out of a challenging growing season marked by cool weather and then heavy rains just a few days before the Cabernet Sauvignon was due to be picked. The flagship Guado al Tasso in particular reflects the mid-weight style of the year nicely.

I tasted a wide range of wines at Guado al Tasso just as the 2019 harvest was getting started. As is the case throughout Tuscany, the 2016s are off the charts, the 2017s are rich wines that will drink well early and the 2018s show the more mid-weight style of the year. The overarching theme in recent years has been a move towards greater freshness and vibrancy, and that is very much in evidence across this lineup.
