    Belguardo Tenuta Belguardo Bronzone Riserva (Red) 2020 - Highly RecommendedTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim

    Mostly translucent. Lots of resin, pinewood, herbal, eucalyptus. New oak on the nose. Fresh and herbal on the palate, with a fresh and zippy mid-palate. Would have wanted to see a bit more depth and a bit more fruit - but this has so much freshness and charm that I'm willing to overlook all that. The tannins are unexpectedly fresh, with a pretty red cherry elegance. It's modern, it's elegant, it's vibrant. I think this is exactly the sort of wine that modern sommeliers will fall over themselves for. Is it what I expect from a Riserva Morellino? Not necessarily, but the combination of freshness, herbal interest, and charmingly Italian (but not excessive) tannins make this a real winner for me. On retaste - traditional but not pushing boundaries
