The 1986 Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia Bolgheri is a renowned, mature Super Tuscan wine that is considered an "underdog" vintage due to being overshadowed by the legendary 1985. It is highly regarded for its elegance, complexity, and excellent aging potential, offering a harmonious and flavorful experience now.
Tasting Profile
The wine is a blend of approximately 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc. The tasting profile has evolved over time from a youthful, lean wine into a complex, mature expression of the Bolgheri terroir.
- Nose: A profound bouquet with aromas of ripe blackcurrants, cherries, and plums, complemented by notes of tobacco, cedarwood, leather, and a mineral component.
- Palate: A beautiful balance of freshness and structure with velvety, well-integrated tannins and lively acidity. The fruit flavors blend seamlessly with secondary and tertiary notes, displaying impressive depth.
- Finish: Long, elegant, and characterized by subtle spice and minerality.
- Wine Spectator: Awarded 95 points in a 1989 review, noting it is "Remarkably flavorful and complex for such a lean wine" with hints of plum, spice, anise, tobacco, and toasty oak, describing it as beautifully balanced and seamless. In a non-blind tasting in 2008, it scored 93 points, with notes of "Mineral and berries and mushroom. Complex and delicious".
