Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 2022 (750 ml)

Red currant, cedar, iron and terra-cotta aromas lead into graphite, sandalwood and Mediterranean herbs. The medium- to full-bodied palate is structured by chewy but polished tannins. Several years in bottle should bring the components together and soften the wine.

Vanilla, tobacco leaf, blackberry and blueberry aromas open the wine. Sweet berry and vanilla flavors are energized by bright acidity, while flexible tannins support a warm citrus finish. The result is luxurious yet remarkably lively and effortless.

This youthful Sassicaia has a deep red color and an aromatic profile of rosemary, gravelly earth, sage and fresh black cherry. The palate has broader shoulders and plushness through the middle while retaining elegance and bright acidity. It needs several years to settle and should age for decades.

A strong tannic backbone defines this powerful Sassicaia, while a lifted floral character keeps the bouquet vertical and precise. The wine advances with muscle and intensity, reflecting a hot, dry season and severe fruit selection. Mint and sweet grenadine notes add playfulness to an unexpectedly elegant finish.

Black currant, black cherry, blackberry, tobacco and sweet spice appear over a subtle eucalyptus note. The wine is concentrated and tightly held by assertive tannins. Although closed and compact today, it remains balanced, fresh and long.
