Sassicaia 2013 (1 IMP)

Sassicaia 2013

Bolgheri Sassicaia, DOC

Released directly by Tenuta San Guido especially for this sale, in celebration of Sassicaia's 50th vintage on the market. Excellent level and appearance, owc banded till inspection, owc

In 2021, a beautiful crimson colour to the rim. Then a glorious, wild, exuberant, black fruit and heather nose - an intense scent would be more exact. Powerful and concentrated, with heavenly black cherries and cassis flavours and a texture with the thickness of velvet and the caress of silk, emanating from polished Cabernet tannins. Sumptuous and stunning. One of my ace Sassicaias. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
