Tenuta San Guido Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2008

$279

This is the best young Sassicaia in years. It's the new 1988, which was great, and sometimes better than the legendary 1985. What incredible aromas here with blueberries, spices, licorice, plums. Graphite too. Subtle and complex. Full and silky with a beautiful texture of fine tannins and an ultra-fine finish. So beautiful now...Owner Niccolo Incisa della Rocchetta says that Sassicaia is always great in years that end with eight: 1958, 1968, 1978, 1988, 1998, and 2008.

The price seems very low in light of this." - Dave Sokolin</strong></div><img src="../images/shell/bottomfade.jpg"/></center>

Opened for 2.5 hours - a weighty masterpiece. Rich nose of raspberry and hint of cedar and hibiscus. Well polished and smooth on the palate. Super long finish. Tannins well integrated.

Fabulous balance, detail and elegance! Acidity and tannines are beautifully folded into the richness and luxury of this wine.
