Our Notes
One of the original 'Super Tuscans,' Sassicaia has risen tothe top of the wine world, besting elite Bordeaux in tastings, and qualifyingfor its own DOC. Comprised mostly of cabernets sauvignon and franc, grown inthe stony soils of the Tuscan coast, and kept cool by the sea. This tremendousvintage has offered up complex, elegant layers of ripe dark fruits, leather,cedar, black olive and structured tannins.
Reviews 97 points Wine Advocate "...lays out a familiar blueprint that borrows from the proven track record of this landmark estate that extends into the hills just beyond the Tyrrhenian shores of Tuscany. This vintage is crystalline and pure in its delivery, and if you are familiar with previous editions, it is impossible to mistake this wine for anything but Sassicaia. (ML)" 97 points Vinous "...is fabulous. Bright and beautifully poised, the 2018 opens with brilliant aromatics that make a strong first impression. Delicate and light on its feet, the 2018 is a regal wine that is going to need a number of years to come into its own. Sassicaia is the most finessed of Bolgheri’s top wines. That is very much the case in 2018 as well. I loved it. (AG)"
