Bolgheri Sassicaia 1998, Tenuta San Guido
$6,500.00 TTD
Lovely, subtle yet complex, the Bolgheri Sassicaia 1998 is expertly blended with cabernet sauvignon 85%, cabernet franc 15% to produce aromas of currants, sage and green olives leading to a full-bodied red with a solid core of fruit and well-integrated tannins. Still very reserved on the finish, but those who are patient should be rewarded. Sassicaia is delicious with refined main courses featuring red meat or game. 94 point rating.
