Tenuta San Guido 2005 Guidalberto Red (Toscana)

Country: Italy / Guidalberto
Variety: Red Blend Tuscany
Winery: Tenuta San Guido / Toscana

Guidoalberto is the “pocketbook-friendly” alternative from the same estate that makes Sassicaia. But for $60, you could ask for more. This is a chewy, succulent wine with good length on the close. The aromas are awkward in places with espresso, chocolate yogurt and a touch of cheese rind.
