Sassicaia 2006 Tenuta San Guido Magnum

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.

This is why the wine is simply glorious. 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.
