Monica Larner of the Wine Advocate scored the wine at 94 points saying that “ Vintners with experience such as that amassed at Tenuta San Guido knew exactly how to handle the tricky 2017 growing season. Fruit was harvested early to avoid any jammy sensations and a strict selection process was employed in order to preserve the best clusters…..I found the aromas here to be authentically "Tuscan" in character more so than other vintages with balsamic and Mediterranean elements that borrow directly from the Sangiovese playbook…..The 2017 Sassicaia was expertly built to withstand a long aging future yet only time will tell if the beauty of the bouquet will evolve at the same pace. This fascinating wine magically captures the hallmarks of cool
- temperature winemaking in one of the hottest vintages in recent years. Vintners not vintage won this round.â€
