Tenuta San Guido - Bolgheri DOC - Sassicaia - Rouge - 2019

Wine:

The 2019 Red Bolgheri Sassicaia is another outstanding wine! Born of a vintage of high maturity, it unfolds an exemplary structure where delicacy and aromatic complexity are always present. Very expressive, already well developed, this wine displays perfect, intense and firm aromas of black fruit, notes of dried herbs, spices, tobacco and above all a supreme quality of tannins. True to the Sassicaia style, this 2019 delivers freshness and intensity, and is ready to become a legend. Still young, it will take a few more years to fully appreciate it. Without a doubt one of the most balanced and graceful vintages of the last decade, of diabolical precision! Rated 98/100 by Parker.
