Podere Guado al Melo 2004 Red (Bolgheri Superiore)
- $55
This is modern and plush, ripe and chewy with all kinds of playful renderings of chocolate fudge, coffee and sweet spice in between. Deep fruit renderings peel off layer after layer giving way to solid structure and a polished, dusty finish. Drink after 2012.

Podere Guado al Melo 2004 Gaudo al Melo Rosso Red (Bolgheri)

A smoky, masculine Cab-Merlot blend with deep highlights of cigar box, old spice, black cherry and leather. The wine is compact and firm in terms of its aromatic offering and is focused on sophisticated, tobacco-like notes. In the mouth it delivers bursting red fruit and tight, chewy tannins and makes a great, long-lasting impression on the finish. Drink after 2010.
