SASSICAIA TENUTA SAN GUIDO 1985
R94000,00Why Is It Special?
- The 1985 Sassicaia is often considered the "perfect vintage" and is one of the most celebrated Italian wines ever made.
- It was the first Italian wine to receive 100 points from Robert Parker, bringing global fame to Sassicaia and Super Tuscans.
- Tenuta San Guido pioneered Bordeaux-style wines in Tuscany, breaking the rules of traditional Italian winemaking.
- The 1985 vintage is still sought after by collectors, with bottles fetching extremely high prices at auctions.
TASTING NOTES:
Nose: Intense and complex, with notes of blackcurrant, dried cherries, cedar, leather, tobacco, graphite, and earthy truffle
Palate: Silky yet powerful, with well-integrated tannins, bright acidity, and layers of dark fruit, spice, and minerality
Finish: The finish is exceptionally long and elegant
Ageing Potential: One of the greatest ageing Sassicaia vintages—still remarkable today at nearly 40 years old
