Tasting Notes:

92 points Wine Advocate

If you missed out on Robert Mondavi’s 1991 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, try to find a few bottles of the sumptuously rich, decadent, showy 1992 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve that is about to be released. It is a sweeter, riper, more unctuously-styled Cabernet. While it may lack some of the classicism of the 1991 Reserve, it is a super-rich, full-bodied, flamboyant, unctuously-textured wine that should drink well for 20+ years. (RP)

Cult Wines International Notes:

Sassicaia: A Super Tuscan Legend

Tenuta San Guido’s Sassicaia, with its gravelly terroir reminiscent of Graves, initially evokes the character of Left Bank Bordeaux. Critics often draw comparisons to the finest Margaux, though a refreshing citrus acidity on the finish distinguishes it as unmistakably Italian.

Cultivated across three distinct zones with varying microclimates, Sassicaia exhibits a captivating complexity. Like its Bordeaux counterparts, this wine boasts concentrated fruit, robust tannins, and exceptional aging potential. The legendary 1985 vintage, currently at its peak, demonstrates the wine’s remarkable longevity.

Renowned critics, including James Suckling, Jancis Robinson, and Robert Parker, have consistently lauded Sassicaia. Suckling has particularly praised recent vintages, deeming them the finest from the estate since the 1980s.
