Lot #544. Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 2006

Description: Consists of 6 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 97 AG.
"The 2006 Sassicaia may very well go down as one of the all-time great recent vintages for this Tuscan thoroughbred. The year started off very warm but by August evening temperatures had moderated, leaving the fruit with a stunning combination of ripeness, perfume, acidity and tannin. The wine is simply glorious, that's all there is to it. Layers of dark fruit meld into smoke, leather, violets, menthol, earthiness and tar as this profound wine opens up in the glass. The creamy, silky finish lasts an eternity, as waves of fruit caress the tannins with breathtaking elegance. Everything is in the right place in this magical Sassicaia. This is one for the ages. In a word: Awesome." Vinous, Aug 2009
Provenance: The Bourges Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $1,100
