Sassicaia Tenuta San Guido 2002 Bolgheri Italy (Magnum) OWC, 2002

Duty Paid, 1 bottle, 1.5l

ID: 200922

Description

(80% cabernet sauvignon and 20% cabernet franc): Medium saturated ruby-red. Fresh aromas of blackcurrant, graphite, herbs and mocha. Intense flavors of minty blackberry and cedar, complicated by leather and minerals and a hint of tomato paste. This has filled out considerably with time in bottle and now shows less of the green edges that were apparent a few years ago. Another very good example of how lesser vintages of Sassicaia improve markedly with time; I probably underrated this wine in my initial evaluation. Though 2002 was a horrific, rain-plagued vintage, insiders know that it rained less in Bolgheri than in other parts of Tuscany, and to Incisa della Rocchettas credit, a whopping 40% of the final wine was declassified, so theres less Sassicaia to go around from this vintage.
