Tenuta Sanguido Gidalberto 2018 Sassicaia has become one of the most sought-after wines in the world, and Guidaberto, the second wine, has become a favorite in the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia and now Asia, predating the top Bordeaux wines and causing uncertainty in supply over its first label.
The quality of Sassicaia wine is absolutely as good as that of France.
Sassicaia, whose first vintage was released in 1968 and widely reviled, is now widely accepted as the greatest Cabernet Sauvignon wine in the world, becoming one of the first single wines to receive its own DOC.
The wines from Sassage combine the elegant intensity of blackcurrant and cedar with extraordinary power and length.
This wine performs exceptionally well in this classic vintage.
The 2018 Guidalberto (Cabernet Sauvignon and to a lesser extent Merlot) opens the back-show lineup with rich bouquet and a beautiful, rich velvety appearance.
This version of Tenuta San Guido Intermediate Wine has more aroma, more texture and more volume. Bottom notes of black cherry and blackberry are spice, tar, leather and sweet fruit.
The taste is elegant, silky and delicate. This is quite possibly the best vintage of Guidalberto I've ever had - and you can get it at a great price, too.
Grape varieties: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot Under Hong Kong law, intoxicating liquor is not allowed to be sold or supplied to others in the course of business.
