Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc. Mittleres Weinrot, etwas matt im Ansatz. Grünliche Noten, krautiger Ansatz, frisch geerntetes Tabakblatt, keine Primärfrucht, eher eine erdige Terroirsüsse vermittelnd, wirkt aber, von der Nase her, irgendwie noch roh. Erst im Gaumen merkt man seine wirkliche Grösse. Fleischiges, dichtes Extrakt, rückhaltige Adstringenz, schöne Muskeln und viel positives, Verborgenes im Innern, im Finale mit einer angenehmen Cabernetsüsse mit Malz und dunklem Tabak. Es macht absolut keinen Sinn mit diesem jungfräulichen Wein heute eine Blindprobe zu machen. Das wird aber ein ganz grosser Sassicaia, den man in 5 Jahren mehrere Stunden dekantieren muss. Oder noch besser – mindestens 10 Jahre warten. Potentialwertung: 19/20 2020 – 2038

Ripe black cherry and blackberry flavors pick up rosemary, mineral and spice accents in this red, which is concentrated and intense, fresh and focused. Racy midpalate, this leans toward black currant and cedar notes on the solid finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2017 through 2030. 3,500 cases made.
Producer
Tenuta San Guido
Italy’s most iconic wine estate, Tenuta San Guido, has grown even more into their reputation following a recent string of great vintages of the country’s most celebrated wine, Sassicaia. Established in the 1940s, the winery did not present its first commercial release until 1968. By 1985, Robert Parker reaffirmed their reputation, giving the 1985 Sassicaia a perfect score and ultimately putting the estate on the worldwide wine map. The single estate in 1994 became the first ever to receive their own DOC, Bolgheri Sassicaia. Distinction holds true in their production, from their second label, Guidalberto, to their third wine, Le Difese, each wine is unique and impressive in its own way.
