Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 2021

"Sassicaia,? a.k.a. the mother of all Supertuscans, is already one of Italy's best red wines year after year – and the 2021 vintage noticeably raises the bar once again. 100 points from Robert Parker's *The Wine Advocate* speak for themselves. The 2021 is described as the quintessential "Sassicaia,? both a reflection of this exceptional vintage and a pure expression of the estate's distinctive Cabernet Sauvignon/Franc blend. And indeed: this wine is defined by a perfect balance of fruit and freshness – with not even a hint of over-ripeness. Red currant, blueberry, pomegranate, and cherry fill the glass with a generous basket of seductive fruit, complemented by a touch of rose and plenty of spice (gingerbread, hazelnut, cedar, smoked paprika) to round out this opulent mix.
