2021 vintage

Closed last week with my first go with Marchese Antinori’s ’Il Bruciato’ (v21, 14% ABV, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Cabernet Franc, 19% Merlot, 15% Syrah & 6% PV) - benchmark for an easy-going, gluggable Bolgheri Rosso. Dark cherry, ruby in appearance. Nose brings cedar, scorched earth, autumn leaves, plums, brambles & cassis, as well as warming spice + tobacco. Rounded m+-bodied palate, decently integrated oak, roasted coffee adding to the flavour profile, ample acidity, not much resistance, fair, gravelly finish!

2021 vintage

Comprising 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Cabernet Franc, 19% Merlot, 15% Syrah and 6% Petit Verdot, the 2021 version of Il Bruciato is a deep ruby, ripe wine with lots of oak. On the nose and palate, dark bramble fruits and Luxardo cherries are flanked with notes of cedar, espresso, baking spices, toasted almonds, bittersweet chocolate and dried herbs. Medium-to-full-bodied, freshly acidic and without alcoholic heat (14%), it wraps its flavors with an abundance of grippy tannins. Dense in the middle …

2021 vintage

Moderne Bolgheri met flair en toegankelijkheid. Zwarte bes, pruim, toast en een hint van zoethout. In de mond vol, zijdezacht en perfect in balans, met sappig fruit, afgeronde tannines en een vleugje mediterrane kruidigheid. Geen blockbuster, maar wel verfijnd en doordrinkbaar. Veel wijn voor z’n geld. Toscaanse klasse in een moderne stijl.

2021 vintage

This needs decanting not good at first but once it opens it’s quite pleasant Dark red ruby almost grant in color nice fraqunce red fruits currant sour cherry, flavors herbal with dark berry, casis, some spice and oak gives way to slight vanilla tannins are not overwhelming but are firm and noticiable Short to medium finish. I didn’t like it at first but once it open it was very nice Decent QPR for Bolgheri at under $28.00

2021 vintage

nothing wrong with this, very mouth filling with balanced tannins and fruit, this will really develop in 5 or more years. just a child now, try one, and then leave alone for a few years.

2021 vintage

PnP. Primary red fruits, spice, vanilla from oak, tannins is very much present and powerful. Needs lots of air to soften it. Did not decant as wasn’t sure if there was enough fruit there to take in all the air.

2021 vintage

Good mid level food friendly wine. Some purple and soft red fruit, easy drinking.

2021 vintage

Was already drinking very well, Pizza and Salad night and this was bang on for that combo, probably just going to get better with a few moree years

2021 vintage

Very aromatic and well structured. This is powerfull and delicate also. Worth the price. Can be held for 10 years but ready for a real pleasure.

2021 vintage

Bordeaux vs Super tuscans with Alf Tumble : Dark fruit with cassis and blackberries. Ceder. Good acidity and well integrated tannins. Opens up nicely with some time in the glass and shows more red fruit and complexity by the last sip. Nice!

2021 vintage

Deep, brooding, and delicious, with dark fruit and some tobacco, but with structure and elegance. California vibes, but with restraint. A lovely bottle consumed at FK Restaurant in Toronto.

2021 vintage

Deep, dark reddish-purple in color. Full, forward & aromatic nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, raspberries & plums with overtones of earthy/dusty & floral notes, herbs, spices, cocoa, minerals & a touch of cedar. Medium bodied with a good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe dark fruit flavors of cherries, blackberries & plums with spices, herbs, minerals, cocoa & a touch of vanilla/oak. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing but should …

2021 vintage

Belle tenue. Passé son apogée mais toujours agréable, généreux, équilibré. Un caractère confit se développe avec le temps. Le bouchon était en très mauvaise condition à l’ouverture, mais sans problème en bouteille. La dernière.

2007 vintage

Antinori Il bruciato A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah by tenuta guado al tasso,one of the many estates of the Antinori’s family. The color is deep ruby with a purple ring, it smells quite complex with notes of vanilla,oaky,herbaceous,some chocolate,plums,green pepper and coffee. On the palate is fresh, well balanced,tannic and quite persistent with the coffee and herbs that come back.14%abv. Definitely with some aging can improve

2021 vintage

Same as previous note, maybe worse.

2021 vintage

Plums, black cherries, ripe red berries, sweet spice, rubbed sage and thyme on the nose. Rich and vibrant palate, with grippy tannins and lively acidity. Tart cherries and red berries with black plums, and a nice earthy, dark cocoa midpalate. A bit alcoholic, but a real crowd pleaser of a wine.

2021 vintage

It’s fun! Black cherry and plum, super ripe raspberry. Minty and sweet herbs. Well integrated oak. It’s very nicely balanced. Ripe fruit and ripe tannins. Moderate finish. Definitely has that second wine vibe.

2021 vintage

Very smooth fruity red- dry. Balanced and drinkable, better with food- pair with prime rib Drank at Prime 94 with Rino when visiting.

2021 vintage

Balanced, fruity, but dry. Nice to drink alone, better with steak. $50 in restaurant

2021 vintage

Easy-drinking and good with a casual lasagna dinner. Definitely better with food.

2021 vintage

Not worth the money

2021 vintage

PnP at Ballo Restaurant after seeing Trans-Siberian Orchestra. The bright red fruit and balanced acidity in this blend paired well with an Italian dinner (red sauce, broccoli rabe/sausage and a balsamic reduction over skirt steak were among the dishes). Flavors continued improving 30-60 minutes after popping with hints of vanilla and clove. Enjoy now or hold.

2021 vintage

Prominent oak on the nose: cedar, vanilla and clove. Fruit isn’t too pronounced but there is blackberry and a little bit of cassis. On the palate, it’s surprisingly medium bodied and medium in tannin and acidity. There is oak stave and distant plum. 8/18

2021 vintage

Great flavors and great with food and by it self.

2021 vintage

Such a beauty! Didnt decanted, room temperature (warmer than books tells). Blackberries, leather, balance, no acidity. Dark color, nice smell, great aroma.

2006 vintage

Deep garnet red. Layered and aged nose with leather, cherries, damp cigars, strawberry jam and vanilla. Medium tannins (5.5/10) and medium bodied. Dark berries on the palate with cocoa, vanilla, animal nuances, a hint of anise and a bit of jam. Long finish. Drink till 2026.

2006 vintage

Pnp. Still a fairly dark garnet with a translucent rim. Despite the hot 2007 vintage and the noticeable Syrah in the blend, this has very good freshness and the fruit is not overripe or burned, nor are there any oxidative signs. On the less positive side, the wood is still noticeable after 13 years and as the fruit is obviously on the retreat, this is at risk of drying out given the medium tannins. Fairly short finish. Overall nothing too …

2007 vintage

Inviting nose of ink, intense wood, licorice. Medium bodied, combining elegant oak, chocolate and cedar, herb aromas to a complex, seducing palate with lots of sweetness and silk. Drink now.

2007 vintage

Inviting nose of ink, wood, licorice. Medium bodied, combining elegant oak, chocolate and cedar aromas to a complex, seducing palate with lots of sweetness and silk. Consider decanting for two hours. Drink now.

2007 vintage

Definitely has years of aging left. A robust wine on first evening after open for one hour. Fruit and tannins in balance. A good food match.

2006 vintage

Consider decanting this wine for a good hour. A dense nose of ink, wood, licorice. Mid-to full bodied, this bottle proves to be a wholesome relative of the Guado al Tasso family, combining elegant oak, chocolate and cedar aromas to a complex, seducing palate with lots of sweetness and silk. Cora-wined it on the first day and opened the next day to a lamb filet, where this wine clearly felt „at home“.

2007 vintage

Wonderful brambly pleasure here. Deep black fruit, chewy tannins with oak, stems & seeds that ate quite harmonious, especially for the price point. Great find for lasagne bolognese.

2006 vintage

Superbe nez légèrement sur les Bretts, fruité, notes florales. En bouche souple++, fruit noir, cuir. Un peu poussiéreux (pas un défaut). Faible acidité, longueur moyenne. Aucune note d'alcool/chaleur dans cette bouteille. Beaucoup de plaisir sur un coq au porc, sauce à l'orange.

2007 vintage

Monthly tasting club "The Tasting Club" 2015-06; Tuscany (except Chianti) (@ My place) : Cab. Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah blend. Gets 8 months of French oak. In the bouquet ripe and sweet red and dark forest fruits. On the palate dark and red berries, sweet spices, some autumn impressions, beautiful acidity and round, pleasant tannin with still a soft bite. Very clean and harmonious wine; a great pleasure. Fully mature now, but no real hurry. The score might seem high, …

2006 vintage

Mesmas impressões anteriores. Muito bom!!

2007 vintage

Muito bom. Taninos definidos, frutas vermelhas acidez equilibrada.

2007 vintage

Still pretty dark in colour - earthy, savoury nose, spices, tobacco, dark fruit. On the palate powerful and rather smooth, great fruit, slightly sweet with good acidity and great grip. Medium finish. Very nice. Drink over the next 2-3 years.

2007 vintage

Popped and poured. This was drinking very well with little air time. Great QPR.

2006 vintage

Earth bomb I love it. Very smooth now.

2007 vintage

What a great value wine

2006 vintage

brought to an offline and didn’t take formal notes, but i recall the heat being too much for the fruit on the nose, palate seemed a bit closed at first but opened somewhat finish was short with tannins and heat dominating

2007 vintage

Beautifully balanced wine. Drinking great now, but I think I will wait another year before I drink my last bottle.

2006 vintage

decanted for about an hour. nice fruit, hints of raspberry, cherry and vanilla. tannins still quite strong.

2007 vintage

My second bottle of 3 and it has been 2 years since my first bottle. Consumed in a small cozy open kitchen restaurant thus I can't really tell the aroma of the wine exactly. What I recalled was a bit of leather and cherry. Taste has noticeable red fruit. Tannins from my bottle was very soft. Finishing is good with hint of menthol. Wonderful price, and an excellent choice for a dinner wine.

2007 vintage

2007 vintage

Tuscan earth and barnyard, hint of oak. Pencil lead and mature tannins that say maybe I got some more time. This is awesome for the price. Got to love the baby Guado al Tasso.

2006 vintage

Très séduisant. Évolution idéale.

2006 vintage

For 2009 vintage, figs and mild earth behind a mild very pleasant nose. Taste is too tannic now, hot. Needs another 2-3 years: should mature nicely. Good pickup for $20-25.

2006 vintage
