Vintages 2017 and 2016 could not be more different at Tenuta San Guido. Production is down significantly in 2017 - 45% for Le Difese, 15% for Guidalberto and 25% for Sassicaia - because of severe dehydration on the vine. Even so, the 2017s are gorgeous, but very much in the radiant style of a warm vintage. Readers will find much more classicism in the 2016s, wines that impress for their captivating aromatic intensity, depth and poise. In short, 2016 is a superb vintage for San Guido.

There is plenty to like in these current releases from Tenuta San Guido, including a stellar edition of the flagship Sassicaia. The 2015 is rich and sumptuous in feel, while retaining the super-classic, mid-weight sense of structure that is such a signature of this vintage in Bolgheri. The 2015 Sassicaia is not a blockbuster, but rather a wine that impresses with its overall harmony, which is exactly how it came across in several tastings from barrel.
