I tasted this wine several times during the course of its creation in both barrel and bottle, and the highly deserved 100-point score you see here was enthusiastically assigned at the conclusion of a mini vertical in which I tasted and compared the 2016 vintage against 2015 (which I scored 97 points). It makes perfect sense to present these two excellent vintages in back-to-back comparison fashion because they are two of the best to emerge from Bolgheri, and indeed Tenuta San Guido, in recent memory. These are very similar vintages with long, hot summer months that fueled a long growing season. There was a bit more rain in 2016, and in analytical terms this vintage has a tad more acidity. However, the results in the glass are extraordinarily different. The 2015 vintage is exuberant, round, succulent and immediate, whereas the 2016 vintage shows pinpoint sharpness and precision (with similar grit and texture at the back). That acidity will carry it long into the future as the wine completes its slow evolutionary course. This wine is chiseled and sharp with blackberry, ripe cherry, grilled herb and barbecue spice. The aromas flow from the glass in a continuous stream and are all marked by radiant intensity. The mouthfeel is long and powerful. The crisp linearity of the wine's tannic backbone is perfectly measured to the volume and depth of the fruit flavors. To my mind, the 2016 Sassicaia stands tall next to the epic 1985 vintage that set the ultimate benchmark for vino italiano.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100\/100 Points Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMonica Larner - 17\/01\/2019\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"fv\/bbr","offers":[{"title":"1 bottle 1x75cl","offer_id":53593772032373,"sku":null,"price":495.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 bottle case 6x75cl","offer_id":53593771999605,"sku":null,"price":2970.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0131\/6713\/2731\/products\/Sassicaia_5d88452a-7fd9-4cd8-a6c6-9ce40854a424.png?v=1659961082"},{"product_id":"pomerol-2022-declassified","title":"POMEROL 2022 DECLASSIFIED","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e£27.90 \u003c\/span\u003eper bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"k-uppercase\"\u003eWhy should you buy this wine?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #a32e2e;\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"k-uppercase\"\u003eFrom one of the most famous Chateau in Pomerol\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"k-uppercase\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #973b3b;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #a32e2e;\"\u003e From the excellent 2022 vintage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #a32e2e;\"\u003e Best value Pomerol you can buy \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"k-uppercase\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #973b3b;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #a32e2e;\"\u003eImported direct from Bordeaux\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"k-uppercase\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #973b3b;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #a32e2e;\"\u003eVery limited stock this will sell out fast\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is the finest declassified wine we have enjoyed to date, we have been told that this the last official release of this magnificent declassified Pomerol, we cannot reveal the Chateau for obvious reasons as it is a well guarded secret, you are buying a top quality Pomerol here for a fraction of the normal price.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fine Wine Direct","offers":[{"title":"6 Bottle Case 6x75cl","offer_id":53598014407029,"sku":"","price":167.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Bottle 75cl","offer_id":53598014439797,"sku":"","price":27.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0131\/6713\/2731\/files\/pomeroldeclassifiedfinewinedirectcopyright.png?v=1758461300"},{"product_id":"margaux-2023-declassified","title":"MARGAUX 2023 DECLASSIFIED","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e£27.90 \u003c\/span\u003eper bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV 13.0%\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Without a doubt the best declassified Margaux wine I have tasted to date - highly recommended.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"k-uppercase\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy should you buy this wine?\u003cbr\u003eFrom one of the most famous Chateau in Margaux\u003cbr\u003eAverage score from wine critics 98 points\u003cbr\u003eFirst wine sells for 25 times as much\u003cbr\u003eFrom the excellent 2023 vintage\u003cbr\u003eBest value Margaux you can buy\u003cbr\u003eImported direct from Bordeaux\u003cbr\u003eVery limited stock this will sell out fast\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"k-uppercase\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith its deep garnet red colour, this 2023 Margaux has delicate blackcurrant and blackberry fruit and touches of oak on the nose.

In 1862, the Provincial Council of Álava asked Guillermo Hurtado de Amézaga, the Marqués de Riscal, to lead a new initiative: the Médoc Alavés. He hired a master winemaker who introduced the Bordeaux production method to improve the quality of local wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecond, in 1888, during the devastating phylloxera crisis, Juana Zavala y Guzmán took over the management of the winery following the death of her husband, Camilo Hurtado de Amézaga. Later, in 1895, Marqués de Riscal became the first non-French wine to receive the Diploma of Honour at the Bordeaux Exhibition—an exceptionally prestigious recognition at the time. Since then, a reproduction of that diploma has adorned the label of Marqués de Riscal Reserva, one of the winery’s most iconic wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThird, the construction of the avant-garde hotel designed by world-renowned architect Frank O.

This variety withstands oak- and bottle ageing well thanks to its good balance of acidity and fine tannin. The Graciano and Mazuelo varieties, whose presence in the blend does not exceed 10%, provide crispness and a lively colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 26ºC and the maceration time is never more than 12 days. Riscal reservas spend around two years in American Oak barrels, producing a wine which corresponds to the classic Rioja style: fresh, fine, elegant and very suitable for laying down for many years.

A delicious vibrant red, with charming currant, cherry and floral aromatics.

Most of the region enjoys a maritime climate that allows production of fresh whites and balanced red wines. The last ten years have seen a surge of ambitious small growers making far more interesting wines across a wide selection of grape varietals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCas’Amaro are an organic producer, who make artisanal wines across their five agricultural estates in the following Portuguese wine regions. Vinho Verde, Douro, Dão, Alentejo and Lisboa cultivating a total of 62ha across these estates. Their first and main site in Lisboa is situated 12km from the coast and 40 minutes from Lisbon. Their philosophy is to work in harmony with nature and in each region employing a minimal intervention approach, develop and encourage biodiverse local ecostystems and work entirely with indigenous grape varieties, out of respect for Portuguese traditions. Outside of producing fantastic wines, they are very dedicated to giving back to their local community, employing exclusively nearby to help local families, organizing free activities for local schools, day centers, associations and nursing homes.
