Lot #942. Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 1980

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 93 DM.
"Hints of salted caramel, clear sweet edge that gives a shot of pleasure on the attack. Tannins are still apparent, valiantly holding on. The silky structure seems to be defying gravity, hovering over the edge of the table, every now and then putting one toe down for balance as it tiptoes across your palate. Exceptional wine, not in perfect balance, the acidity is perhaps a little out of line, but the pleasure that this bestows more than makes up for it. The evening sun sinking behind a Tuscan farmhouse, the glowing embers of the day." Jane Anson, Decanter, Oct 2016
Provenance: The Multitude Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $600
