1999 Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia

This was awesome! Proof that Bordeaux varietals have great potential in Bolgheri. Great fresh fruit aromas upon opening; so robust that they engulfed the room and those next to the bottle while decanting commented on the "lovely" and "sensuous" aromas wafting from the bottle. Mature, with harmonious balance between acidity and tannins, with a nice impression of both fresh and dried fruit; utterly smooth, with a caressing finish that lasts for minutes.
