Parker about Sassicaia 1994
This is the first vintage that bears the Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC appellation. In fact, the 1994 Bolgheri Sassicaia represents the first edition of the first single-winery denomination in Italy and this special distinction has never again been duplicated. Furthermore, this release has never been formally reviewed in Robert Parker Wine Advocate. My impression is that the oak integration is less successful in this effort. There is a moment of hollowness on the mid-palate that is subsequently followed by dry and dusty oak tannins. There are few fruit remnants of prune and dried cherry, but promising more than that is a stretch

On the nose, the Sassicaia 1994 unfolds a fascinating blend of ripe dark fruits, characterized by nuances of black currants, plums, and cherries. These aromas are subtly interwoven with notes of cedarwood, tobacco, and a hint of vanilla, reflecting the careful aging in premium oak barrels.
The true greatness of this wine is revealed on the palate. The velvety texture and silky mouthfeel envelop the palate with remarkable finesse. The tannins are perfectly integrated and contribute to a harmonious structure that makes the wine both powerful and balanced.

Tenuta San Guido
Information about the winemaker:
What kind of winery are we talking about when we talk about San Guido and why is it so special? The history of San Guido can be traced back to the 1940s. The estate was founded by Mario Incisa della Rochetta, who was considered a visionary of his kind at the time. His descendants continue to run the winery extremely successfully and consistently stick to the methods of their predecessors, which certainly contributes significantly to the success of the wine. The Sassicaia has been imitated again and again over the years. However, no other producer has succeeded in copying the noble drop, because: The Sassicaia is unique.
