2013 Tenuta San Guido "Sassicaia" · Bolgheri-Sassicaia DOC
Producer Tenuta San Guido
Vintage 2013
Region Bolgheri-Sassicaia DOC, Tuscany, Italy
Blend 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc
Aging French oak, one-third new

The original Super Tuscan, and a fitting vintage — 2013 was the year the estate was granted its own dedicated DOC, the only single estate in Italy so honored. A cooler, classically structured year with wide diurnal swings, this is Sassicaia in its racy, tightly wound register: violet, black currant, cherry, wild herb, graphite, and spice over a dense but silky frame. Larner praised its "excellent execution, beautiful balance and seamless intensity," with the kind of forward momentum that signals serious aging potential. Built for the cellar — give it time. 

 

97 Points
"impression has remained pretty much the same. One difference I did notice at this more recent tasting of the 2013 Bolgheri Sassicaia is the bouquet. It has shifted to slightly more delicate and finessed aromas of pressed flower and blue violets. You do of course get that solid core of dark fruit and spice that characterizes this famous Tuscan blend. But that extra time in the bottle has awarded wiggle room for profound precision and focused detailing. The wine's complexity emerges slowly with subtle notes of savory spice and tobacco. There is power and depth here, especially in terms of the mouthfeel. As the wine evolves in the glass, it begins to show ethereal tones of road paving, tar and licorice. This Sassicaia should go straight into the cellar"
