Parker about Sassicaia 1999
The 1999 Bolgheri Sassicaia steps forward with extra richness and darkness that sets a decisive tone. Compared to the neighboring vintages, this wine shows more succulence and textural thickness that is immediately apparent. It also reveals some heaviness and flatness that remind you of its age and its ongoing evolution. The bouquet delivers tones of dark fruit, black olive, cured meat and smoked tobacco. Reading between the lines, you are playfully reminded of the wine's important legacy and its territory-specific identity. But this vintage is more simplistic than the others. If you have a bottle, I wouldn't wait too much longer, although for now this wine is holding strong.

Sassicaia 1999
Tenuta San Guido's 1999 Sassicaia is an outstanding vintage of this iconic wine. It is made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes from the estate's own vineyards.
The 1999 Sassicaia presents itself in the glass with a deep, dark red color. On the nose, it unfolds a complex bouquet of ripe dark fruits such as black currants, cassis, and plums, accompanied by notes of tobacco, spices, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it displays impressive concentration and structure, with silky tannins and balanced acidity. The wine possesses remarkable depth and complexity, accompanied by a long, lingering finish.
The Sassicaia 1999 from Tenuta San Guido is a wine that has already reached considerable maturity and is in excellent drinking condition. It pairs wonderfully with hearty meat dishes such as beef or lamb. Decanting the wine before consumption is recommended to allow it to breathe and optimally develop its aromas.

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.
