100 points, “A perfectly woven structure is bound with signature freshness and fruit vibrancy, making this one for the long haul.” – Decanter
99 points, “Elegant, polished tannins and bright acidity keep it beautifully balanced and focused.” – Wine Enthusiast
99 points, “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.” – James Suckling
98 points, “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.” – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The Sassicaia 2019 is a vintage of concentration, elegance and longer oak ageing – the iconic red spent 25 months in oak, of which one-third were new. Expect sensational balance and purity. It opens with graceful notes of lavender, rosemary, blackberry, crème de cassis, black cherry, orange peel and graphite, before leading on to cedar, red plum, tobacco, star anise, mint, sage, black olive and spice. As you’ll see from the critic scores, this is a cracking vintage that has earned a place in Sassicaia’s pantheon of greats, which is sure to mean that it will sell out fast.
What can you say about the legend that is Sassicaia? Widely acknowledged to be the first Super Tuscan and a catalyst for an Italian winemaking revolution. A wine so controversial it was relegated to a table wine by the restrictive DOC regulations, only to prove so successful and highly revered that it was granted its own DOC Bolgheri Sassicaia – the only single estate to receive this privilege. The first Italian wine to receive 100 points from Robert Parker, a red that regularly beats Bordeaux’s First Growths in blind tasting competitions and one that prompted Jancis Robinson to ask herself “Does my working life get any better than this?” after sampling several vintages from magnum, before concluding “No it does not.” That’s why Decanter Magazine describes it as: “One of the greatest wines in the world, famed and feted for its timeless elegance, balance and longevity.”
