James Suckling: 96 Points

This vintage shows a remarkable aromatic profile of Mediterranean herbs cassis black cherries leather and earth with a kind of gamey depth.

International Wine Report: 94 Points

Joe D'Angelo International Wine REport: "The 2023 Guidalberto displays wonderful finesse and class as it opens to aromas of dark cherries and black currants which are woven together with florals herbs and exotic spices that all take shape. On the palate this is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced with excellent overall focus and precision. It continues to impress with its sleek texture that leads into a finish that lingers beautifully. The blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon 45% Merlot is already appealing now yet there also looks to be a lovely future ahead..." 02/25

The rich and glossy red berry, blackberry and black cherry fruit is nicely layered with balsamic herbs, damp earth and lovely mid-palate sapidity, with a creamy undertow which leads to a finish of dark chocolate and bitter herbs. Intense but not overtly concentrated, fresh and poised, there's much to love here – although it will require at least another six months to pull together harmoniously.

Jane Anson: 93 Points

Jewel-like ruby red love the rustic sappy tannins and the savoury mouthwateringly juicy black fruits fruit layered with orange peel cocoa bean underbrush finessed full of signature Tuscan charm transforming these Bordeaux varieties. Approachable discreet great length unflashy well made great stuff from the team at Tenuta San Guido.

Vinous: 92 Points

The 2023 Guidalberto is another terrific wine from Tenuta San Guido in this vintage. Aromatic medium in body and gracious the 2023 is pure charm. Crushed flowers bright red-toned fruit spice and blood orange all pulse through a vibrant refreshing Guidalberto that will drink well on release. The more refined side of Bolgheri is very much on display. This is a fine effort in a year marked by heavy rains and elevated disease pressure. What a delight. - By Antonio Galloni on February 2025
