The 2015 San Leonardo pours forth with a beautiful velvety appearance and sultry dark garnet color. This wine shows a lot of life and dark fruit purity with black plum, blackberry, cassis and tarry prune. There is a delightful note of black pepper that is specific to this warm and sunny vintage. The fruit shows softer and richer concentration compared to past vintages and more pulpy density that gives this edition a bigger profile in terms of mouthfeel. Production is 75,000 bottles. San Leonardo is a wine made for long aging, but the nice thing about this vintage is that the bouquet remains quite accessible at this young age. Nevertheless, I'd still suggest keeping this bottle in your cellar so that it can calmly finish its evolution.Inc. GSTSG$618.55 -

Another year in bottle has added unexpected depths and dimension to the 2016 San Leonardo. It wafts up with an alluring bouquet of smoky black currant and plum skins, complicated by savory herbs, hints of white pepper and fresh tobacco. It's hard chiseled edges have formed into smooth contours now, velvety yet youthfully dense, washing mineral encased dark red and black berries across a core of brisk acidity as a combination of saline-minerals and grippy tannins add tension toward the close. This finishes incredibly long yet also structured, begging for time in the cellar, as hints of licorice and earth tones grumble under an air of inner violet florals. The potential within the 2016 San Leonardo is off the charts, yet it will require a good amount of time to come fully into focus. Bury your bottles deep.Inc. GSTSG$359.87 -

This vintage starts off with a bigger sense of fruit weight and texture. The Tenuta San Leonardo 2019 San Leonardo is a little more accessible in the medium term (for a wine that notoriously requires many years of cellaring to show its best results). Fruit flavors embrace blackcurrant, spice and cured tobacco. There is a hit of black pepper in this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère and Merlot, but otherwise you get more ripeness in this medium- to full-bodied vintage.Inc. GSTSG$1,589.18 -

(1x150cl) 1985Vinous - Antonio Galloni (100)
Conversation gradually halts as the 1985 Sassicaia is poured. It’s the most anticipated wine of the afternoon, and with good reason, as the 1985 is one of the most famous wines ever made, not just in Italy, but anywhere. It's also the wine that put Bolgheri on the map. Literally. Several guests have traveled to New York for this event just to taste the 1985. It does not disappoint. Dark and unctuous, with shocking opulence, the 1985 stains the palate with copious dark fruit. Tobacco, cedar, mocha, licorice and new leather follow. At 40 years of age, the 1985 has not lost a step. From magnum, it is simply magnificent. The true definition of an icon. It is the product of an unusually warm and dry growing season, with elevated temperatures that persisted through to harvest. The 1985 spent 14 days on the skins. Aging was 22 months in barrique (65% new), a mix of 60% Slavonian oak and 40% French oak. I can't think of a better way to end this lunch. What a wine!Inc. GSTSG$10,902.35 -
(1x75cl) 1988
The Wine Independent (99)
The 1988 Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia has a dark garnet color and a wider rim than the 1985 but the color is brighter and more youthful. The nose is closed and understated at first, but it opens up with gentle smoke and hints of violet and roses. It reminds me of smoky bonfires in the distant countryside with a hint of autumn leaves on its breath as well as summer flowers. There’s even more substance in the middle of 1988 than the 1985 but the wine is very balanced, classy, and controlled, and there is a vibrant acidity at the core of this wine which lingers to the finish. This is a super-harmonious wine with sublime finesse and understatement. It is just beautiful! Both the 1985 and the 1988 are exceptionally beautiful wines but the 1988 was the preferred style of Giacomo Tachis and the Incisa della Rocchetta family. This one is drinking beautifully now but it shows no signs of getting old.Inc. GSTSG$996.53 -
(1x75cl) 1990
Wine Advocate (93)
This is a beautiful wine that has passed the test of time with flying colors. The 1990 Sassicaia is a thrilling expression that opens to succulent darkness and deep layers of ripe fruit opulence. Dried blackberry, plum and black currant keep the fruit profile high. Background notes of cumin, exotic spice and cured tobacco add power and weight. Lighter tones of balsam herb and crushed mineral are important components of the wine's elegance. The mouthfeel is structured and richly textured, but balanced by its acidity. Back when Robert Parker first reviewed this wine in 1994, he predicted that it would last through the first decade of the 21st century. Given how well the wine is showing now, it's safe to extend that drinking window even further.Inc. GSTSG$906.06 -

This is the first vintage that bears the Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC appellation. In fact, the 1994 Bolgheri Sassicaia represents the first edition of the first single-winery denomination in Italy and this special distinction has never again been duplicated. Furthermore, this release has never been formally reviewed in Robert Parker Wine Advocate. My impression is that the oak integration is less successful in this effort. There is a moment of hollowness on the mid-palate that is subsequently followed by dry and dusty oak tannins. There are few fruit remnants of prune and dried cherry, but promising more than that is a stretch. If you have a bottle, drink it sooner rather than later.Inc. GSTSG$1,461.52 -
Wine Advocate (91)
The 1995 Bolgheri Sassicaia still holds court, thank you very much. It reminds me of a grande dame, or a woman of influence and sophistication who lights up the room thanks to her expertly delivered, albeit antiquated charm. The wine's aged evolution is evident as the bouquet releases sure aromas of dried fruit, old spice, saffron and cola. I can't say the aromas reach perfect equilibrium, because they don't. There is a muddled fruit note in there too that subtracts from its purity. The mouthfeel is svelte and lean with finely polished and silky tannins. In fact, the wine's texture shows precision and elegance. Pretty menthol notes appear on the long finish.Inc. GSTSG$8,147.79

(1x150cl) 1985
Vinous - Antonio Galloni (100)
Conversation gradually halts as the 1985 Sassicaia is poured. It’s the most anticipated wine of the afternoon, and with good reason, as the 1985 is one of the most famous wines ever made, not just in Italy, but anywhere. It's also the wine that put Bolgheri on the map. Literally. Several guests have traveled to New York for this event just to taste the 1985. It does not disappoint. Dark and unctuous, with shocking opulence, the 1985 stains the palate with copious dark fruit. Tobacco, cedar, mocha, licorice and new leather follow. At 40 years of age, the 1985 has not lost a step. From magnum, it is simply magnificent. The true definition of an icon. It is the product of an unusually warm and dry growing season, with elevated temperatures that persisted through to harvest. The 1985 spent 14 days on the skins. Aging was 22 months in barrique (65% new), a mix of 60% Slavonian oak and 40% French oak. I can't think of a better way to end this lunch. What a wine!In BondSG$9,985.00 -
(1x75cl) 1988
The Wine Independent (99)
The 1988 Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia has a dark garnet color and a wider rim than the 1985 but the color is brighter and more youthful. The nose is closed and understated at first, but it opens up with gentle smoke and hints of violet and roses. It reminds me of smoky bonfires in the distant countryside with a hint of autumn leaves on its breath as well as summer flowers. There’s even more substance in the middle of 1988 than the 1985 but the wine is very balanced, classy, and controlled, and there is a vibrant acidity at the core of this wine which lingers to the finish. This is a super-harmonious wine with sublime finesse and understatement. It is just beautiful! Both the 1985 and the 1988 are exceptionally beautiful wines but the 1988 was the preferred style of Giacomo Tachis and the Incisa della Rocchetta family. This one is drinking beautifully now but it shows no signs of getting old.In BondSG$906.00 -
(1x75cl) 1990
Wine Advocate (93)
This is a beautiful wine that has passed the test of time with flying colors. The 1990 Sassicaia is a thrilling expression that opens to succulent darkness and deep layers of ripe fruit opulence. Dried blackberry, plum and black currant keep the fruit profile high. Background notes of cumin, exotic spice and cured tobacco add power and weight. Lighter tones of balsam herb and crushed mineral are important components of the wine's elegance. The mouthfeel is structured and richly textured, but balanced by its acidity. Back when Robert Parker first reviewed this wine in 1994, he predicted that it would last through the first decade of the 21st century. Given how well the wine is showing now, it's safe to extend that drinking window even further.In BondSG$823.00 -

This is the first vintage that bears the Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC appellation. In fact, the 1994 Bolgheri Sassicaia represents the first edition of the first single-winery denomination in Italy and this special distinction has never again been duplicated. Furthermore, this release has never been formally reviewed in Robert Parker Wine Advocate. My impression is that the oak integration is less successful in this effort. There is a moment of hollowness on the mid-palate that is subsequently followed by dry and dusty oak tannins. There are few fruit remnants of prune and dried cherry, but promising more than that is a stretch. If you have a bottle, drink it sooner rather than later.In BondSG$1,325.00 -

The 1995 Bolgheri Sassicaia still holds court, thank you very much. It reminds me of a grande dame, or a woman of influence and sophistication who lights up the room thanks to her expertly delivered, albeit antiquated charm. The wine's aged evolution is evident as the bouquet releases sure aromas of dried fruit, old spice, saffron and cola. I can't say the aromas reach perfect equilibrium, because they don't. There is a muddled fruit note in there too that subtracts from its purity. The mouthfeel is svelte and lean with finely polished and silky tannins. In fact, the wine's texture shows precision and elegance. Pretty menthol notes appear on the long finish.In BondSG$7,380.00
