Scores

Ample, sweet and expansive, the 2003 Sassicaia offers generous notes of sweet dark fruit intermingled with notes of spices, herbs, earthiness and smoke in a full-bodied, opulent expression of this wine. It is an outstanding effort for the vintage. Some cellaring is suggested although with air this wine is drinking beautifully right now. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2023. Score: 93 points Antonio Galloni

Tasting Notes

This is a very great vintage of Sassicaia. The wine has the elegance and finesse which is the hallmark of Sassicaia, but allied to more richness and intensity than has customarily been the case. It has nice, fleshy fruit with a good clean structure. It is longlasting on the palate and will become recognized as one of the great vintages from this superb estate, which arguably produces the most interesting and original wines in the Tuscan firmament.

ProducerTenuta San Guido

Quietly, elegantly and almost involuntarily, the Incisa della Rocchetta family released the wine that would revolutionise the Italian wine scene creating a totally new genre: the Super-Tuscan. Tenuta San Guido is now a legendary estate and was first planted in the 1940s by the Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, who noted the similarity between Bolgheri’s terroir and that of the Graves. When, in 1968, Sassicaia was finally commercially released, it took the fine wine world by storm. Cementing its iconic status, in 1994 it was granted its own appellation – Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC.
