Tenuta San Guido
Sassicaia, 2003
justerini & brooks tasting note
This is a very great vintage of Sassicaia. The wine has the elegance and finesse that are the hallmark of Sassicaia, but allied to more richness and intensity than has customarily been the case. It has nice, fleshy fruit with a good clean structure. Long-lasting on the palate, it will become recognised as one of the great vintages from this superb estate.

93/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous
Ample, sweet and expansive, the 2003 Sassicaia offers generous notes of sweet dark fruit intermingled with notes of spices, herbs, earthiness and smoke in a full-bodied, opulent expression of this wine. It is an outstanding effort for the vintage. Some cellaring is suggested although with air this wine is drinking beautifully right now.
