Tenuta San Guido, Sassicaia 2008, 6er owc

91 / 100 Robert Parker
Deeply colored. Youthful, brooding aromas never really open fully, but we like the ripe dark berry fruit, spice, and minerals. On the palate, the 2008 is quite similar to the 2007 as it is another huge, dense, sweet, and meaty wine. There is the now familiar Sassicaia elegance with very good acidity. However, the alcohol was prominent, and we hear a complaint that the 2008 is “over-done, too much.” Clearly, this bold, tannic wine needs time to evolve. Satisfying length, with a little heat at the end.

Refined and elegant, this is right in step with the reserve of the vintage. Blackberry, plum, cassis and mineral flavors play out with subtle oak spice notes on the finish, where this flexes some muscle. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2014 through 2025.

Bright crimson. Relaxed again! Complete. Lift on the finish. Dry end.
