“Sassicaia” Bolgheri DOC 2006
Tenuta San Guido | Tuscany
Tenuta San Guido CITAI S.p.A. | Loc. le Capanne 27 | IT 57022 Bolgheri
Sassicaia 2006 is an immensely typical Bolgheri. In short: a classic, ripe on the nose and on the palate with a beautiful expression of blackcurrant and bay leaf alongside a splendid spiciness. As it progresses, notes of cassis, pickled cherries, a hint of leather in the background. A vintage that is particularly convincing after the years of maturity with its fine-meshed tannin and Mediterranean character. SUPERIORE.DE
"Vibrant dark crimson. Very much the opposite of Rollandian style. Lovely freshness and relaxed fluidity. Great stuff. Great balance and only just ready." Jancis Robinson
"Displays sweet tobacco, plum and berry aromas, with a jammy undertone, turning to licorice on the palate. Full-bodied and balanced, with silky tannins, a lovely texture and plenty of fruit. Outstanding Sassicaia, with structure and finesse." Wine Spectator
"Sweet tobacco and berry with hints of currants. Full, soft and silky. Lots of fruit and a long finish. It's subtle, dense and sophisticated." James Suckling
"The Tenuta San Guido 2006 Bolgheri Sassicaia is a timeless classic. This might just be the vintage to photograph in an encyclopedia entry for Sassicaia. This is especially true at this exact moment in its long and promising drinking window. The wine shows less volume compared to some of the more opulent vintages, but it absolutely excels in terms of length and finish. It offers amazing drive and momentum that are fueled by the extremely fine nature of the wine's texture and the seamless unity of its flavors." Wine Advocate
"The 2006 Sassicaia may very well go down as one of the all-time great recent vintages for this Tuscan thoroughbred. The year started off very warm but by August evening temperatures had moderated, leaving the fruit with a stunning combination of ripeness, perfume, acidity and tannin. The wine is simply glorious, that's all there is to it. Layers of dark fruit meld into smoke, leather, violets, menthol, earthiness and tar as this profound wine opens up in the glass. The creamy, silky finish lasts an eternity, as waves of fruit caress the tannins with breathtaking elegance. Everything is in the right place in this magical Sassicaia. This is one for the ages. In a word: Awesome." Vinous
"To be honest I gave the Sassicaia 1985 a 100 points at the same tasting, but those notes have already been published, and it’s a vintage that has been celebrated plenty of times. Both bottles were from one of the standout tastings of the year – in Rome, a vertical of Sassicaia dating back over five decades. This 2006 has guts and glory, there is stuffing here. The exotic heat comes through like a pan-seared filet steak, nothing more than a flash fire that gives way to succulence. More exoticism with the dancing array of flavours, from plums, damson and spices to forest fruits and heather then the menthol kicks comes in. You just want to linger over this glass, pick apart the individual flavours and get to understand what it is saying." Decanter
