Sassicaia 2021

Jeg har smagt alle Sassicaia'er med 98 til 100 point i mit liv, nogle af dem flere gange. For at være helt ærlig synes jeg, at 2016 og i endnu højere grad 2021 er de eneste to årgange, der virkelig fortjener 100 point. Selv den legendariske 1985 kommer lidt til kort. 2016 er perfektion i balance og elegance, men 2021 er så utrolig fundamental i sin vibration, friskhed og race, men alligevel dyb og rig. Vinen er utrolig dynamisk og alligevel, i modsætning til den lige så hurtige 2019, er den ubeskrivelig harmonisk og afbalanceret. Den minder mig meget om Chateau Latour, som den skylder de første indsmuglede vinstokke i 1960'erne. Med hensyn til finesse ligner 21'eren 20'eren, men den kan ikke matche den med hensyn til vibrationer, tryk og næsten elektrisk spænding. Sassicaia 2021 har brug for tid, men så vil den også holde i meget lang tid. En sjælden legende lige fra starten! 100+/100

Parker om: Sassicaia

This is a benchmark vintage, offering special appeal thanks to its profound sharpness and precision. The Tenuta San Guido 2021 Bolgheri Sassicaia remains fixed and immobile, like a time capsule of the vintage itself. One member of the winery team with whom I tasted used the word “granitic,” referring to its frozen, statue-like posture, a description I found especially fitting for the wine’s character. Whereas the 2016 vintage shows iron-like minerality, the 2021 reveals brilliant limestone clarity followed by dark currant, dried mint and blood orange. Cabernet Franc is reduced to 12% in this blend alongside Cabernet Sauvignon. The mouthfeel is complete and profound, defined by freshness and firm texture, and even when revisited nearly an hour later, this stone statue of a wine did not budge. This is a bottle clearly built for long cellar aging.

International Wine Report om: Sassicaia

The 2021 Sassicaia is a truly monumental wine and clearly amongst the most compelling releases I have ever tasted. As this begins to unwind in the glass it quickly becomes evident that this is a special wine. The aromatics are nothing short of breathtaking, showing beautifully perfumed nuances of dark cherries, dark plums and sweet red berries that are followed by spices, fresh florals, sweet tobacco, gravel and hints of licorice all taking shape in the glass. On the palate this is incredibly detailed, refined and polished, as it displays stunning finesse and purity. The overall balance and structure is simply magnificent, as it continues to impress with excellent precision and nuance all the way through the beautiful vivid finish. The 2021 already displays immediate allure and beauty, however at this early stage it still only offers a glimpse of what is ultimately to come for this thrilling wine. This is a sensational vintage of Sassicaia that is built for the ages. 100/100

Jane Anson om: Sassicaia

Another great vintage in Tuscany, following a run of exceptional years, and as you might exect from this estate, we are here right at the top of what the vintage has produced. Expect to find softly grilled and smoked campfire notes on the opening, unrolling over ripe brambled berries, overlaid with incense, tobacco, sweetened red pepper, orange zest, liqourice and lavender. Sassicaia is a wine with a slow, gentle reveal, with a slate texture that highlights the subtle minerality and drawn out finish. My tastebuds are totally fired up, mouth watering, this is an active experience, you are engaged and wanting to lean in what happens next. Such clever winemaking, reflecting an exceptional terroir. Carlo Paoli director, 40% new oak for ageing.

Decanter om: Sassicaia

2021 is one of Sassicaia's legendary vintages, and it's just gorgeous. The grapes are hand harvested, before eight to 10 separate vinifications with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel, followed by ageing in barriques, which are mostly used. The final blend is micro-oxygenated in stainless steel tanks before bottling. The result? A tapestry of softly unveiling flavours: blackberry, bay leaf, cedar and fruity blueberry dance together, underpinned by graphite minerality. It exudes aristocratic elegance through perfectly ripened tannins and vibrant acidity, with notes of eucalyptus, plums, pomegranate and undergrowth extending out. Its extraordinary finish oscillates, wave-like, with tangy fruits carrying through. The 2021 comprises 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc from vineyards at 100m-300m on diverse soils.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Sassicaia

The 2021 Sassicaia is remarkable for being simultaneously complex yet transparent. In the glass, it displays a bright jeweled ruby red hue. On my second tasting of this wine, the nose was much more expressive than in my initial tasting the previous day, offering pure aromas of raspberry, pretty lifted spices and lavender, dusty earth, and fresh Mediterranean herbs, and as it opens, it develops notes of rhubarb, incense, and sandalwood. The palate is pure and expressive, with well-defined, ripe tannins, seamless acidity, and refreshing saltiness, but its shining pure fruit is what stands out and will shine for decades to come.

Galloni om: Sassicaia

The 2021 Sassicaia is one of the best young Sassicaias I can remember tasting, certainly on par with anything in recent memory. The preference here is picking on the earlier side relative to many neighboring properties, which is one of the reasons Sassicaia is always a wine of refinement more than opulence. At the same time, Sassicaia can be light. Not in 2021. All the elements came together during a long growing season to produce a rich, deep wine that marries textural intensity with classicism. Dark cherry/plum fruit, spice, new leather, menthol, licorice and spice all race across the palate. Time in the glass brings out the wine's textural intensity and sheer power. The 2021 is one of the most concentrated Sassicaias on record. That allowed for long macerations, as long as 20 days for some Cabernets. Aging was 25 months in French oak barrels (95% French, 5% a mix of Hungarian and Slavonian wood), 40% new, 40% once-used barrels and 20% in twice-used barrels. One of the recent developments here is some bâtonnage in aging, which is used to build texture. That approach worked well in 2021. In a word: magnificent. 98+/100

Suckling om: Sassicaia

Very classy and typical of Sassicaia with currant, tobacco, chocolate, sage and lavender on the nose and palate. Medium- to full-bodied with very integrated and refined tannins that are caressing and pretty with a lovely length and beauty. Such finesse and structure at the same time. Best in 2028 and beyond but already joy to taste. 98/100
