Description

I have for auction, ONE bottle of one of the "original" and one of the most recognizable and iconic of Italian 'Supertuscans', a Bolgheri Sassicaia, from the 2012 vintage.

By way of description, I am posting a handful of reviews from some of the most influential commentators in their field, along with the score given.

A brief 'net search reveals that the 2012 is currently selling at up to £155 to £175 per bottle in some boutique wine merchants.

Please note: the blue crepe/tissue type paper which Sassicaia is normally wrapped in for marketing purposes, is in this case somewhat creased, with several small tears. This is due to my storage 'slots' having some slightly sharp edges. Obviously this has no effect on the quality of the wine. I will include the paper, but I wanted to ensure potential buyers are aware of this. Is has, otherwise, been stored impeccably.

Reviews:

Wine Enthusiast - 99 points:
"One of Italy’s most iconic bottlings, the 2012 Sassicaia is drop-dead gorgeous. A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc, it boasts sensations of blue flowers, cedar, juicy red currants, ripe raspberries, white pepper and a balsamic note. Structured, radiant and loaded with finesse, it delivers everything you’d expect from a world-class wine and more. Drink 2018–2032."

James Suckling - 95 points:
"Lots of lavender, minerals and black currants on the nose. Turns to black berries. Full body, ultra-refined tannins and an exquisite finish. This is all about delicacy, finesse and grace. Yet there is a solid core of ripe tannins giving it backbone and outstanding form. Better in 2017 but so delicious already. A wonderful surprise."

Antonio Galloni (Vinous) - 94+ points:
"The 2012 Sassicaia is dark and immediate, with gorgeous up-front richness, density and power. Black cherry jam, cloves and new leather are some of the many signatures that take shape in the glass. The 2012 is an unusually deep, concentrated Sassicaia that is going to need time in bottle to develop the full breadth of its aromas and flavors. Today, it is a bit monolithic, so readers need to be patient. 94+"
