The 2018 Il Bruciato is a gorgeous wine that captures the essence of the Antinori family’s Guado al Tasso estate in Bolgheri. Rich, creamy and ample on the palate, Il Bruciato is an absolute delight today. Blackberry jam, chocolate, spice and licorice are front and center. This opulent, heady Tuscan red has so much to offer. I would prefer to catch it on the young side. Score: 92 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2020-2028 01 January 2021 |

The Tenuta Guado al Tasso 2018 Bolgheri Rosso Il Bruciato is a steal at this price point. Indeed, this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah has consistently affirmed its very reputation on the fact that it so effortlessly hits that sweet spot between value and quality year after year. The wine opens to soft, supple fruit with blackberry and blackcurrants backed by spice, leather and tobacco. The aromas are fresh, fruit-forward and very inviting. The sweet succulence of the wine immediately invites a pairing with marinaded or barbecued meats slow-cooked over embers. In terms of mouthfeel, Il Bruciato is designed to be approachable and most importantly: food friendly. You can't go wrong here. I notice that the integration of fruit is particularly well-managed in this cooler vintage. Score: 92 Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2020-2026 04 June 2020 |

A rich, layered young red with blackberries, plums and chocolate. It’s full-bodied and intense with black-chocolate and hazelnut character. So well crafted. Drink now or hold. Score: 93 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com Maturity: 2020+ 14 May 2020 |

Black currant and leafy underbrush flavors are matched to a solid structure in this red, which tips toward the tannins in the balance, remaining long, with black currant notes on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Drink now through 2025. Score: 88 Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2020-2025 01 January 2020 |
