Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia (2013)

Zusätzliche Information

Vinee Beschreibung und Bewertung

97/100 PP

'I had reviewed this wine just a few months prior and my impression has remained pretty much the same. One difference I did notice at this more recent tasting of the 2013 Bolgheri Sassicaia is the bouquet. It has shifted to slightly more delicate and finessed aromas of pressed flower and blue violets. You do of course get that solid core of dark fruit and spice that characterizes this famous Tuscan blend. But that extra time in the bottle has awarded wiggle room for profound precision and focused detailing. The wine's complexity emerges slowly with subtle notes of savory spice and tobacco. There is power and depth here, especially in terms of the mouthfeel. As the wine evolves in the glass, it begins to show ethereal tones of road paving, tar and licorice. This Sassicaia should go straight into the cellar.'

99/100 Decanter

'The Sassicaia 2013 is just beautiful, and it takes a leap forward in quality. There is even greater precision and transparency with the aromas and flavours, there is a wonderful harmony and ease on the palate and there are even finer, and more seamless tannins on this wine. According to my co-host, Priscilla Incisa Della Rocchetta 2013 was a 'record vintage for Sassicaia'. Carlo Paoli adds, 'spring arrived early but without excess, summer started slowly and was only hot for 20 days and they started harvest mid-September for Cabernet Sauvignon. Everything was slow, calm and beautiful.' The 2013 is at the beginning of its drinking window and drinking beautifully now, but it still has a long time to go.'

93-96+/100 vinous.vom

'Tasted from separate lots in barrel, the 2013 Sassicaia is shaping up to be a jewel of a wine. Rich, layered and expansive on the palate, the 2013 possesses remarkable depth, spherical texture and fine, silky tannins that wrap around the finish. A first sample, taken from a parcel in Mandrione shows remarkable perfume, while a second sample, from 40 year-old vines in Castiglioncello is all about density and power. There is a lot to look forward to here, that much is obvious.'

95+/100 WT

'Sassicaia zeigte sich 2016 mehrfach in der Stilistik als großer, klassischer Pauillac, kraftvoll und elegant zugleich, sehr mineralisch mit feiner, rotbeeriger Frucht, sehr druckvoll und lang – WT95+'
(Achim Becker, wineterminator.com)

Sassicaia, der Inbegriff eines großartigen Super-Toskaner. Was als Projekt für den Eigenverbrauch Ende der 1960er Jahre begann, hat sich inzwischen zu einem wahren Kult entwickelt. Kaum ein anderer italienischer Wein hat es geschafft, die besten Eigenschaften eines großen Bordeaux so präzise ins Glas zu transportieren. Hier treffen die Reinheit der ausgebauten Cabernet Sauvignon und Cabernet Franc-Trauben in einer Eleganz und Vielschichtigkeit zusammen wie es sich für einen großen Wein gehört. Sassicaia begeistert nicht nur durch seine dichte und üppige Frucht sondern auch durch seine Erhabenheit und Balance. Es muss nicht der legendäre 85er sein um zu begreifen, dass Sassicaia wieder zu den besten Weingütern der Welt zählt.
