TASTING NOTES

Think of this as your passport to an elegant evening full of rich stories and deep flavors. The 2007 Sassicaia from Tenuta San Guido is all about balance and finesse, offering luscious layers of dark cherry and ripe plum with subtle hints of cedar and earth that make every sip velvety and inviting.

Harvested under ideal conditions in Bolgheri’s distinctive limestone and marl-rich soils, this vintage benefits from a mild winter and a warm, dry summer that brought perfect ripeness to the grapes. The result is a wine with a beautifully refined structure and remarkable depth, aged 24 months in French oak to round out its plush, smoky character.

This is a total knockout for those moments when you want to celebrate something special—think a cozy dinner with slow-roasted lamb or a gathering where great wine and even better conversation flow freely. It’s a classic from a region known for crafting iconic wines, and with 95 points from Antonio Galloni, you know this bottle delivers on every level.

The 2007 Sassicaia (Cabernet Sauvignon) explodes onto the palate with masses of rich, opulent fruit that caress the palate with gorgeous length and a seamless beauty that is hard to fully capture. Dark wild cherries, plums, spices, minerals and herbs develop in the glass. This is an especially bold, perhaps slightly uncharacteristic Sassicaia in its extroverted personality, but it is beautiful all the same. The inner perfume and sweetness carries through the long finish, where the sheer weight and glycerol of the fruit leaves a lasting impression. The 2007 is more than a worthy follow-up to the profound 2006. While it may lack that wine's freshness, structure and potential longevity, the 2007 is immensely appealing today, and should drink beautifully pretty much out of the gate. That said, Sassicaia is always the most restrained of Bolgheri's heavy hitters. This is a superb effort from Tenuta San Guido.

This iconic Italian wine from Bolgheri’s landmark Sassicaia vineyard (characterized by little rocks, or 'sassi') offers an elegant bouquet comprised in equal measure by mineral, fruit and spice nuances. The wine consists of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc and the finish is long, smooth and very fine. This is an ageworthy wine that should not be opened before 2018. *Cellar Selection*

Here's a wine of power, determination and confidence—as far as first impressions go. The 2007 Bolgheri Sassicaia leaves little hidden behind the curtain. It presents a frank and straightforward array of bold fruit, spice, leather and tobacco-like aromas that emerge from the bouquet with energy and force. The aromas are complete and genuine. The palate, however, offers more space for interpretation and review. It is finessed and nuanced, thus requiring more time to fully comprehend and appreciate. Silky tannins are followed by fine textural smoothness and a long finish. The outgoing nature of the aromas make for a fascinating contrast against the inward and reticent nature of the mouthfeel.
