Tenuta San Guido Bolgheri Sassicaia 1999

• Tasting Notes:
  
  A dark hue although it is gently fading. The nose here shows a lovely perfume, stony and fresh, showing delicious fruit laced with gravel. It all suggests elegance and finesse, and this shows through on the palate which is very stylish with lots of red fruit and pepper. It still caries a vein of tannins but overall the wine is very nicely knitted together and composed. Broad, with a silky texture, this is simply delicious. Approachable now, although I suspect it will be years before this wine is really at peak.
