This video displays your unparalleled expertise in the three Super Tuscan wines produced by Antinori. Thank you for this informative and insightful content on Tignanello, Solaia, and Guado Al Tasso. I’m exposed to a lot of content about Super Tuscans, and I can definitely say that you are THE authority when it comes to this topic. Santé, John!
Thanks very much, Margaux! It can be confusing to distinguish these wines so I was hoping this video would be useful! Appreciate the kind words! Cheers!
@@AttorneySomm My pleasure, John! This video is definitely very useful and helpful. I agree, it can be confusing to distinguish these three great wines. Fortunately, you’re here to help and guide us.😊
Nice video John, these are fantastic wines! Only in Italy can you occasionally find a Tignanello for under €100. Even in restaurants they can be around €100, I believe Antinori gives discounts to local restaurants in the area to put it in their menus.
Great video! One of my favorite wines is the Chianti Classico Riserva from Tenuta Tignanello, which is made with 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. It drinks like a baby Tignanello, especially in the better vintages like 2015/2016/2019 for almost 1/3 the price.
Thanks, John. My experience of supertuscans is limited to Tignanello and Sassicaia from many years ago. I remember that both were excellent but, unfortunately, I don't have notes I can refer to. Ornellaia is the only one on my bucket list (although I certainly wouldn't turn any of the others down if offered). We had friends over for this last weekend and drunk, among other things: 2015 Val di Suga, Brunello di Montalcino; 2013 Mas de Daumas Gassac; and a Doisy Vedrines, 2013 Sauternes. The star was undoubtedly the Brunello - it developed beautifully in the glass. What a star (second favourite of the year so far). The Sauternes was excellent, too but I think the Mas de Daumas needs another year or two to develop some complexity. Fortunately I still have a few bottles of all three in the cellar.
Sounds like a terrific weekend Steven! Appreciate the insights re: the Val di Suga Brunello! Sounds like it was in a terrific place! There will be a big Brunello event in Dallas at the end of November. Very much looking forward to that! I'll be able to get a read on dozens of the new releases.
All great wines ! But in my experience and taste, the one that ages the best is Solaia, cause in 10 to 15 years from release develops a seductive complexity thanks to the Sangiovese and it’s a more unique wine to taste , in comparison to the other 2 . Would love to hear your take on that .
Thank you! I definitely understand that and think it is personal preference. Solaia is certainly an excellent wine and definitely the most expensive of this trio.
These are some of my favorite wines. All are beautiful in their own right. But have had wonderful success with some back vintages of Gaudo al Tasso. 10-15 years really does this wine well. I'm sure longer would even be wonderful, Even tho I am at times impatient. But the beauty of this wine with a bit of age, is great QPR in my eyes.
Completely agree with you! Especially compared to the price of Sassicaia and Ornellaia, GaT is an excellent relative value! It was nice to drill down on the differences for these three. Cheers!
Several months ago I had a 2017 Guado Al Tasso. It was a very nice wine, though I’ll admit for the $130 I paid for it that there are others that I prefer. Maybe not by much, so I would buy another bottle and let it age longer to see how it is. It was very good but I just seem to usually prefer a Bordeaux.
I just ordered a bottle of Grattamacco based on your recommendation. This was the Grattamacco Bolgheri Superiore. Hopefully that is what you wrote about.
@@MichaelH-ck4hg Yes! That is it. 👍🍷 I discuss that one is several videos, most recently this one: Wine Collecting: 8 Top COLLECTIBLE WINES (TexSom Treasures, Part 2) ruclips.net/video/MMzlsm-erb0/видео.html
I just tried the Grattamaco. It’s a 2019, so I was going to let it age more, but decided that I could always get a couple more if I liked it. It’s exceptional! I like it more than the Antinori Guado Al Tasso, and it was a little less in price. Of course I’ll be getting some more of them. The Antinori was great, but this was more to my liking. Thanks for suggesting it to me. Happy New Year to you.

Thank you! Agreed! I enjoy all three as well. That is great information! A very worthwhile initiative by Antinori. I wish more wineries did that.
Their wine sounds amazing. Thank you for posting🍷
Thank you, Natasha! Yes, all three are very well done! Cheers!
Solaia is amazing but very expensive now. Really enjoyed your video many thanks 😊
Agreed. Was surprised it is $300 ish. Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks very much! Yes, that one is a compelling value! 👍🍷
Wow!Fantastic ,thank you.💯👏👏👏🍷👌

Was gifted the 2001 Tig and it was outstanding. The problem now is how can I enjoy anything else not in that class now :-( lol
What a nice gift! Yes, that one is excellent! True! That is the hard part! 😅

Thank you. Yes that one is a nice value relative to Sassicaia. You might try Grattamaco as well. That one is about $100.
