Description
Sassicaia 2018Tenuta San Guido
2 banded owc
Bottle (12)
Wonderful selection of wines from the cellar of one of Europe’s most knowledgeable wine collectors. Immaculate provenance: ALL wines purchased upon original European release through meticulous natural distribution channels and stored in a purpose-built temperature and humidity-controlled cellar.
"The growing season started off cool and wet but turned to warm and dry conditions comfortably before the harvest. Cabernet Sauvignon with Cabernet Franc in a supporting role deliver a graceful mid-weight texture that holds back style-wise in terms of phenolic density. The wine's careful balance is achieved thanks to the nuanced character of the fruit, the present acidity, the well-managed structure and the contained alcohol. The palate is lifted and bright, the finish is polished and long, and the wine skips over any heaviness on the mid-palate. The bouquet is especially intriguing with a very lively plummy fruit element that is enhanced by baker's chocolate, pepper spice, iron ore, caramel and pie crust. There is also a green character that adds positively to the bouquet with aniseed, tea leaf, soya, menthol rub and black olive. The fruit maturity is spot-on with no elements that feel over or underripe. Overall, the 2018 Sassicaia weighs in with a svelte frame and long persistence. Moreover, it is distinguished by the archetypal elegance and pedigree of the classic vintages of the past. This new release gives you much pleasure to await." (97+ pts. Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Jan. 2021)
"The 2018 Sassicaia is fabulous. Bright and beautifully poised, the 2018 opens the brilliant aromatics that make a strong first impression. Delicate and light on its feet, the 2018 is a regal wine that is going to need a number of years to come into its own. Sassicaia is the most finessed of Bolgheri's top wines. That is very much the case in 2018 as well. I loved it." (97 pts. Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb. 2021)
