2020 Tenuta San Guido - Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC Sassicaia Super Tuscan (750ml)
97 Points
"The 2020 Sassicaia is a bold, rapturous wine. Dark, fleshy and expansive

on the palate, the 2020 offers up scents of blackberry jam, gravel, spice,

new leather, licorice and crème de cassis. Potent tannins are nearly buried

by the sheer intensity of the fruit. Sassicaia is never a huge wine, the 2020

does seem to have an extra dimension of textural intensity. It's an

intensity that is hugely appealing.

Estate Manager Carlo Paoli describes 2020 as a year with a long, rainy

winter and a cold spring. "Temperatures warmed up in the middle of

June," he explained. "July was very hot, but heat moderated in August.

Even so, it was a year in which ripeness moved quickly, as opposed to 2021

when ripeness was more gradual. We picked the entire estate in 22 days

instead of the 29-30 that is more typical." The 2020 spent 15-18 days on

the skins, followed by 25 months in French oak, 50% new. Production is

down about 30% because of selection in the vineyard"
