Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 2014
Sassicaia is today considered to be one of Italy’s greatest red wines for its consistent excellence and its intuitive spirit. The bottles are collector’s dreams, with many of them amongst the highest scored and age-worthy wines made each year.
It’s now 10 years removed from a 2014 vintage that I think many critics were too harsh on largely because it wasn’t ready for the big stage from the beginning the same way the 2013s were. If you ask any classic Tuscan winemaker, they won’t have many bad things to say about the vintage — especially not the way they’re drinking at the moment. This bottle is absolutely soaring right now. I bet you’d rather have this than a 2012 right now. This hits well above its initial 95-point scoring.

95 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Aromas of red berry, blue flower, menthol, exotic spice and a whiff of French oak take shape on this impeccably balanced radiant red. The palate is vibrant and focused—almost ethereal—delivering raspberry compote, Marasca cherry, star anise and cinnamon framed in elegant tannins. Weightless and loaded with finesse, it’s an incredible result for what was a cool wet vintage in most of Italy. Drink through 2024.
