Tenuta San Guido Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2004
Deep ruby. Absolutely ethereal nose offers intense yet refined aromas of ripe red cherry, smoke, leather and black truffle, with a pretty mineral element nuance and clarity. Velvety-smooth, ripe and rich on entry, then awash with mid-palate flavors of red cherry, smoky red plum, cassis, spices, bay leaf, roasted coffee bean and dark chocolate. Bright acids and silky-smooth tannins give this extraordinary wine extra lift and precision. Compared to recent vintages, this is a far richer and plumper yet extremely refined version of Sassicaia at a similar stage of its development. The finish goes on for minutes, highlighted by an enchanting mineral quality. The best young Sassicaia in years. Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

Pure and intense on the nose. Deep plum and roses. Violet and a hint of mint. The wood is well integrated. Very harmonious

One of the most polished sassicaia I’ve had... silky, glossy and complete, mocha, cinnamon, dark deep fruit, leather, plum. Wonderfully complex with noticeable oak but all seamless. Not too hot- still tangy and bright.

Had this February 16th 2015. Absolutely incredible! Was decanted 4h and was still drinking big after 8h. Saving the last glass for tomorrow in a glass on the counter. I'm sure it will be at the best then.

Bluntly elegant, and undeniably great. Stacey Shipman would definitely say, "such a lush."
