This consignor began his journey into collecting wine seven or eight years ago, sparked by the memorable experience of sharing a bottle of Stag’s Leap Cask 23 with a friend. Since that introduction, he has built a focused collection sourced exclusively from three reputable vendors: Wine and Beyond, Devine Wines in Edmonton, and Iron Gate Auctions. To ensure the integrity of every bottle, he has maintained them in a professional-grade wine cooler from the moment of purchase until their consignment. He is now offering these selections for auction simply because his collection has grown beyond his personal consumption rate, and his palate has recently transitioned from a preference for Bordeaux toward Burgundy.
2021 Sassicaia Bolgheri from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 100 points. This is the tasting note for 2021 Sassicaia Bolgheri from Robert Parker - with a score of 100 points. Here it is - A quintessential Sassicaia that represents the excellence of the vintage and also respects the unique taste profile of this distinguished Tuscan blend of Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc. The Tenuta San Guido 2021 Bolgheri Sassicaia offers impeccable balance, excellent freshness and absolutely no signs of over-ripeness. The fruit balance is ideal with a hint of crunch and lasting tension from pulp and skins. The tannins are deftly managed with firm grip and enough velvetiness to add volume and length. There is no greenness on the bouquet that instead offers mulled herbs and spice, with cinnamon and clove, layered delicately between mostly red and some purple berry fruits. Redcurrant, blueberry, sweet pomegranate and Rainier cherry run strong in this vintage. A fragrant hint of heritage rose emerges with time. The oak tones are geared toward gingerbread, hazelnut, cigar, sandalwood and something like a grilled sweet red pepper. To the palate, it offers nice weight with no heavy glycerin, and a rinse of acidity that adds to the wine’s natural energy, brightness and viscosity. That marked freshness opens the wine up to long aging potential, but you still need to give it more time in bottle.
