Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 2019 0,75l

hodnotenie a citácia Falstaff:  100/100

"Powerful, sparkling ruby. Intensive and clear nose with a lot of concise fruit, currant and mulberry, then fine notes after cedar needles and spicy cedar, light resinous notes in the background. If there is cool and ground, much juicy dark berry fruit, opens up with Handy, dense tannin in many layers, builds up for a long time, very powerful in the back, very powerful, rich pressure, very long reverberation, some tobacco and subtle mintery in the final, a wine with a great and long future, pressure and elegance."

"The purity of cabernet sauvignon fruit is exceptional here, with character and sensibility that’s reminiscent of some of the great Sassicaias from the 1980s, such as 1982 or 1988. But this is much more precise and clean. Aromas and flavors of currants and berries with cedar and earth. Sage and minty character, too. It’s full-bodied yet there’s so much polish and balance, together with structure, elegance, and refinement. Hard not to drink at this stage, yet give it time and respect. This will be a classic Sass and reminds me why I love this wine. Try after 2026."

 "The latest release from Tenuta San Guido is the 2019 Bolgheri Sassicaia. The bouquet is up front and very expressive from the get-go. It offers a generous display of crunchy, dark cherry that hints at the extra concentration and fruit weight obtained in the 2019 growing season. This vintage will be remembered for the crisp richness of the fruit and its important textural imprint. It also shows fine elegance, bordering on the ethereal, with berry aromas, tarry earth and brushes of balsam herb or grilled rosemary. Sassicaia always shows an almost-glossy finely knit quality to the polished mouthfeel, and I find it again here next to fresh acidity and firm tannins. Mouthfeel in 2019 is the wine's strongest suit. The 2019 is one of the prettiest and most balanced editions of Sassicaia we've seen this past decade, along with the back-to-back duo of 2016 and 2015. The 2019 marries the precision of the 2016 with the rich fruit weight of the 2015." Drink date: 2025-2055
