Lot 170 Details
TENUTA SAN GUIDO SASSICAIA 2005
Tuscany.

The 2005 Sassicaia is another strong effort from Tenuta San Guido. Medium in body, it reveals an understated, delicate expression of smoke, herbs, tobacco and sweet dark fruit. The wine possesses compelling harmony and a gorgeous sense of inner perfume that flows from start to finish. This is an outstanding showing in a very challenging vintage. Sassicaia is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, with a small amount of Cabernet Franc. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2025 94 WS 95 WA


12 bts. per lot $2,500 - $2,900

Realised: $2,400
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
