January 5, 2024 - Brought this to Burlamacco Ristorante (East Coast) for dinner to celebrate a birthday with my army buddies.
Decanted for 2 hours prior to serving. Rich ripe berries and plums on the nose, then gave way to tobacco, black coffee, cocoa, dried herbs and a touch of black spices.
Very well balanced and well made. Good finesse and finish. This wine really showed the wine making skills of the Sassicaia team.
October 20, 2023 - Soul Sicilian Fusion before the Rosanne Barr concert Capitol. 2.5 hrs but needed more.
June 18, 2023 - Beautiful ruby/ brick in color with a wide brick rim.
On the nose red fruits with light oak, licorice, spices, tobacco leaf, herbs, coffee, dark chocolates, light vegetables, wet leaves and light vinaigrette.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, tobacco leaf, dark coffee, dark chocolates, earth, wet leaves, herbs, black pepper, light vegetables and spices.
Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 9 year old Super Tuscan is drinking beautifully now. Elegant and complex with a soft mouthfeel.
This is not Sassicaia, its older brother, but very enjoyable nonetheless. Nicely balanced, rich and elegant.
Showing lots of sweet red fruits with earth notes to balance them out.
Feels more like a Brunelo di Montalcino, and feels much older than it is. Might be the way it was stored.
Wine Spectator 92 points.
Good by itself or with food. I paired with light appetizers.
A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot.

February 17, 2023 - Used this to make a ragu, it's the only thing it's good for
December 27, 2022 - Fabulous, deep dark fruit, smooth, dry and luscious! Well worth the wait!
May 26, 2022 - Medium red colour; rather lean and slightly acidic on the palate, with cherry fruit; quite fresh tasting, but not the depth expected of this wine and not the depth to stand up to our pizza. A bit of a disgrace really for the price and not worthy of a second wine of such a fine estate (usually).
May 3, 2022 - Thin and way too acidic. No fruit, no body. Simply not good. There are bottles that cost 5 € that are better. You would think San Guido has the self-respect to offer at least a half-decent wine. You would be wrong. What a disgrace!
February 19, 2022 - It is a good balanced wine. I do not think it ia a wine for aging. Drink and enjoy.

November 12, 2021 - Unimpressive daily quaffer. Very poor qpr. San Guido should be ashamed to have released this 2014 - a pure cash grab, really not quality oriented at all...
