Sassicaia 1991

Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 1991 is a full-bodied Supertuscan red wine produced in the Bolgheri sub-region of Tuscany in central Italy. Sassicaia is the flagship of Tenuta San Guido and an icon of Italian wine. 2010 is a quintessentially elegant and aromatic blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with a small portion of Cabernet Franc. "You can feel the gathering of dusk here, with the soft debris of tannins and anthocyanins as its structure softens with age. Beautiful persistency, not powerful but tenacious, with the salinity and the minty character give form and freshness to the finish of the wine, even after so many years. There are notes of seashell and lobster bisque going on here, tight at first but opening up quickly." Decanter, 2016
