San Guido is one of many Bolgheri estates that is benefitting from a move towards a more polished style. To be sure, Sassicaia has always been the most restrained of Bolgheri’s super-stars, but the other wines – Le Difese and Guidalberto – have been more opulent in the past. A reduction of overall volume to favor quality is another positive sign here.

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.
