Don Guerino Gran Reserva Traços 2020 (4 grape blend)

£35.99

Produced by the dynamic Don Guerino winery, this blend is their formidable flagship red, produced only in the finest vintages.

Traços (‘traces’) combines an impressive four different grape varieties – Teroldego, Tannat, Malbec & Merlot – managing to be both powerful and elegant at the same time.

From the 2020 vintage, one of the best on record, we expect the wine to have excellent ageing potential.

This same 2020 vintage is also available in Double Magnum (300cl)!

Description

ABV: 14%

APPEARANCE: Dense, deep purple

AROMAS: Initially very oaky on the nose but opens up to show mature damson, blackcurrant and plum fruit; some very light smoky and spicy notes may be apparent too

TASTE: Rich and concentrated dark red fruits with a savoury twist; altogether elegant and well balanced. Tannins are surprisingly mellow; full bodied, with a lovely long aftertaste

FOOD PAIRING: Serve with spicy foods, steaks, roasts, casseroles or mature hard cheeses

OVERALL: A stunning four grape blend (comprising Teroldego, Tannat, Malbec & Merlot), made only in the best vintages. Powerful and with a great structure, the wine continues to evolve and still has considerable ageing potential. Ideally decant before drinking!

A more recent vintage, the 2017, scored 89 points in Decanter (October 2019).
