2016 Sassicaia, Tenuta San Guido, Bolgheri Sassicaia, Tuscany, Italy UOM The palate is medium-bodied withThis has amazing power, elegance and finesse on the nose with a black fruit perfume that is so gentle and subtle, so Sassicaia! Its tremendously elegant on the palate too, but with latent power building in the mouth, with layers of rich, dark fruit. Its a real iron fist in a velvet glove. With beautifully balanced acidity and ripe, rounded tannins, its a superbly elegant glass of wine with a long and very fine finish. This will age endlessly. +. Chris
