Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 2009 Bolgheri Tuscany 750ml/Btl 6/case

Description

Monica Larner: The 2009 Bolgheri Sassicaia is the richest and
darkest edition in recent memory. This super-charged Sassicaia
boasts enormous power and concentration thanks to its impressive
phenolic foundation. Black currant and blackberry confit are
followed by spice, leather, tar, road paving and black truffle. It
shows preliminary tertiary signs with licorice and crushed mineral.
The wine wraps thickly over the palate delivering tight textural
firmness and integrated structure. You taste the sweetness of the
fruit and the depth of the oak tannins. No matter how you approach
it, this wine scores very high on the intensity meter. For the
record: Tenuta San Guido General Manager Carlo Paoli expressed
concern about the integrity of his sample, but I remained extremely
pleased by the gorgeous wine before me.
