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.

This 2020 Tenuta San Guido Guidalberto has leafy blackberry and cedar aromas with a subtle background of baking spice and cream. It has cool, green bramble flavors and fine will-o'-the-wisp, whispering tannins. It's all very elegantly done on the palate, understated, with everything in harmony but it is of course lighter than Sassicaia with a moderate finish. On standing there is a lovely delicate fragrance of macchia mediterranea, peppery spice and freesias with a thrilling acidity. Charming, understated and refreshing.

Violent and profound, Guidalberto describes the 2020 vintage with a very dark profile with notes of sour cherries, black prunes, fondant chocolate, burnt sage and marjoram. Fresh nuances slowly emerge with the passage of time in the glass showing a progressive balminess made up of withered white flowers and mandarin juice fused with the green tones of peppermint. Full bodied, strong and layered in the sip showing grace and character with remarkable distension. Splendid now but better from 2024.

The 2020 Guidalberto is a gorgeous, classy wine. Less opulent than it can be, the 2020 impresses with its energy and drive. Sweet red cherry, plum, mint, rose petal, cedar and pipe tobacco all take shape in this super-attractive, mid-weight offering from Tenuta San Guido. There's a bit more Merlot in the 2020, but Guidalberto is increasingly made from lots that don't make it into Sassicaia, which explains the style of recent vintages. This is a terrific showing, especially considering the recent bottling. It's a fine relative value in Bolgheri's high-rent district.

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. Drink or hold.

A sensational showing in this vintage, the 2020 Guidalberto begins with gorgeous aromas fresh wild berries, spices, fresh cut florals and wild herbs all taking shape in the glass. On the palate this is beautifully textured with gorgeous silky tannins and lovely finesse. It shows remarkable overall balance and focus through the long, sleek finish. Although this needs some time, it appears to be one of the finest young Guidalberto's I have tasted and it should have a wonderful future ahead.
