Meningen over 2022 Sassicaia (1,5L)
Antonio Galloni, Vinous: 94+

"Rich ruby colour with a slightly light rim. Clearly characterised nose with lots of cassis and blackberry, fine spicy components in the background, some cardamom and cedar wood. Juicy, vivid fruit on the palate, grippy tannins, hearty, very nice flow, straightforward and very long, salty finish"
James Suckling, jamessuckling.com: 98
"Plenty of red currant, cedar, iron and terra cotta aromas follow through to a medium to full body with graphite, sandalwood, red currants and fresh Mediterranean herbs such as thyme and rosemary. The tannins are chewy but polished in texture. This is a Sassicaia that needs three or four years of bottle age to come together and soften. A structured wine for the cellar. Try after 2029."

"The Tenuta San Guido 2022 Bolgheri Sassicaia reveals a beautiful fruit profile with fresh blackberry, tart cherry and Mediterranean tones of blue rosemary blooms and lavender sachet. I tasted this wine several times over the course of a few months, and it has already shown a happy evolution coming into slow focus like the faint colors that emerge from a Polaroid photograph. Indeed, the bouquet appeared more closed just a short while ago. The wine's strongest suit is its elegantly streamlined mouthfeel and its contained 13.5% alcohol content. These qualities add to the silky cleanness of the mouthfeel and the accessible freshness of this vintage. I am confident that this bottle will improve with time. It requires patience."
