Tignanello, Solaia, Guado al Tasso, Prunotto and more

2007 Antinori Tenuta Guado al Tasso Guado al Tasso:
BU5000701 (529,-) Almost opaque. Rich nose, blueberries, plums and vanilla. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, fruit-driven and long fruity finish. 90

2006 Antinori Pian del Vigne:
BU5004701 (359,-) Ruby. Rich nose, deep of plums, figs and leather. Lazy acidity, rich and warm style, very ripe, medium length. Not too impressed. Many will anyhow love this style. 87

2008 Antinori Tignanello:
BU5000601 (499,-) Ruby. Licorice, coffee, cherries and herbs. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, a bit closed palate now, but seems to head back to a more classic style, meaning more back to its origins. I might be wrong, but this seems more nuanced than it has been for years. 90

2007 Antinori Solaia: 
BU4805201 (1500,-) Ruby. Scented nose of roses. violets, cassis, blueberries and vanilla. Fresh acidity and ripe tannins. Slightly high in alcohol (14,5%) kills the real charm of otherwise great fruit and excellent wine. Warm finish. 88

2007 Prunotto Barbaresco Bric Turot:
BU4818501 (399,-) Ruby. Tar, roses, anise and figs. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, kind texture and structure for Barbaresco, making it easy to enjoy allready, good length. 88

2005 Prunotto Barolo Bussia:
BU4818401 (469,-) Ruby. Tar, roses, leather and licorice. More intense. Fresh acidity and ripe tannins, more texture and structure than the Barbaresco, but even so, on the more easy side. Fruit-driven and refreshing, long. 90
