Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 2005 91 Points



Sassicaia 2005 was a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc, showing a bright garnet hue with slight brown rim.

Clean, with high intensity, youthful, lactic, dark black fruit, currants, cassis, complex earthy note, integrated oak, layered, huge profile with high alcohol evident.

Dry with moderate plus acidity, complex dark red fruits follows through with an impressively textured mid palate stuffing, savory, full style lifted by the high alcohol(chest burn), moderate plus tannins, long and persistent. Now until 2022+
