Complex aromas and flavors of black currant, blackberry, iron, sweet tobacco and Mediterranean herbs are the hallmarks of this elegant, tensile red, which is already revealing plenty, yet still feels reserved, as though there were many more facets to be discovered. Superb harmony and freshness prevail, ending with a long aftertaste. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2026 through 2045. 23,300 cases made, 5,300 cases imported.

The Tenuta San Guido 2020 Bolgheri Sassicaia speaks to those who seek a more voluptuous, opulent and, ultimately, more accessible wine. This vintage is a precise reflection of Coastal Tuscany, as opposed to a more generic "Tuscan" wine from elsewhere in this large central Italian region. You taste the ripeness and soft fruit weight that comes from a coastal appellation with especially bright luminosity and warm Mediterranean offshore breezes. Sassicaia from the cool vintages is a famously reticent or withholding wine in its earliest years, requiring a long lead time before it eases into an ideal drinking window. That's definitely not the case here. This wine is beautiful and compelling straight out of the gate, showing a lovely mix of dark fruit, oak spice, balanced freshness, textural richness, soft tannins and an expertly contained 14% alcohol content. The wine's immediate character is what distinguishes this vintage, and I wouldn't get too fussed by exaggerated cellar-aging ambitions. The wine awards sheer pleasure in its current form, with dazzling primary fruit and soaring intensity over the near and medium term.

Tenuta San Guido
Domaine le plus emblématique d’Italie, la Tenuta San Guido a atteint un nouveau palier de reconnaissance grâce à une succession récente de grands millésimes portant la signature italienne la plus illustre : Sassicaia. Fondé dans les années 1940, le domaine n’a commercialisé ses premiers vins qu’en 1968. En 1985, Robert Parker a réaffirmé sa réputation en attribuant au Sassicaia de la même année, la note suprême de 100, lui assurant un rayonnement international. Son succès a été tel qu’il a débouché en 1994sur la création de « Bolgheri Sassicaia » - unique DOC dédiée à un seul domaine. Cette distinction singularise l’ensemble des vins, depuis le second vin Guidalberto, jusqu’au troisième, Le Difese, chaque cuvée affichant ses spécificités et son exemplarité à sa façon.
