Lot 119 Details
TENUTA SAN GUIDO BOLGHERI SASSICAIA 2016 (OWC)

Tuscany.

The 2016 Bolgheri Sassicaia is a wine of soaring achievement. That acidity will carry it long into the future as the wine completes its slow evolutionary course. This wine is chiseled and sharp with blackberry, ripe cherry, grilled herb and barbecue spice. The aromas flow from the glass in a continuous stream and are all marked by radiant intensity. The mouthfeel is long and powerful. The crisp linearity of the wine's tannic backbone is perfectly measured to the volume and depth of the fruit flavors. To my mind, the 2016 Sassicaia stands tall next to the epic 1985 vintage that set the ultimate benchmark for vino italiano. January 2019 Drink to 2050 WA 100 VM 97
