Tenuta San Guido fans will find much to admire in these new releases. The entry-level Le Difese and mid-tier Guidalberto are both strong (something that is not always the case), while the 2012 Sassicaia looks like it will drink well early relative to its historical track record. Sassicaia remains the most classic of the big Tuscan wines, with an emphasis on aromatic freshness and acidity that is the result of picking earlier than is common in most neighboring properties. I was quite impressed with the wines I tasted on my most recent visit a few months ago.

I tasted a wide range of wines during my visit to Tenuta San Guido, including the 2011s and 2012s from barrel. Right now, 2012, with its greater freshness and delineation, is the more interesting of the two vintages. As for the 2010s, they are strikingly beautiful. It is a vintage for classic, slow maturing wines, especially true for Sassicaia, a wine that will require considerable patience.
