2012 Sassicaia, Tenuta San Guido, Bolgheri Sassicaia, Tuscany, ItalyA new vintage of Sassicaia is always a treat and is never a disappointment. Cool, yet ripe Cabernet fruit provides great promise for the wine to come.

Its more about the restrained sophistication of the style of this wine, incredibly elegant and fine, this is very impressive. All
