1996 Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Saturday, December 2, 2017 - Zachys Holiday Auction - Dec 2017 (Smith & Wollensky (48th & 3rd Ave)): Whenever I drink one of these wines I'm always reminded of our trip before our visit here to the seaside in Bolgerhi where you have a bit of the salt in the air and the rocks on the beach have their own smell and you can just about taste them in the air. That is this wine. Fruit is there, but a touch more faded. Hints of leather. Mostly sea minerals. Very nice. On the back-end so drink up. (the other thing that our friends reminded us of were the VERY small pours when we visited the estate for a paid for tour and tasting - would generally say better off driving around the area, going to a bottle shop and picking up a few bottles than actually doing that tour).
