Antonio Galloni - Wine Advocate
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: '12 - '25. |
