2018 Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia Bolgheri (750ml) [RP97]

Score: RP 97/100

This is a classic vintage of an Italian icon now celebrating its 50th vintage. The Tenuta

San Guido 2018 Bolgheri Sassicaia 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.
