2004 Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia Bolgheri, Tuscany, Italy:

The 100 Point Scoring System (from www.robertparker.com):
96-100: An extraordinary wine of profound and complex character displaying all the attributes expected of a classic wine of its variety. Wines of this caliber are worth a special effort to find, purchase and consume.
90 - 95: An outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character. In short, these are terrific wines.
80 - 89: A barely above average to very good wine displaying various degrees of finesse and flavor as well as character with no noticeable flaws.
70 - 79: An average wine with little distinction except that it is soundly made. In essence, a straightforward, innocuous wine.
60 - 69: A below-average wine containing noticeable deficiencies, such as excessive acidity and/or tannin, an absence of flavor or possibly dirty aromas or flavors.
50 - 59: A wine deemed to be unacceptable.
In 1978, Decanter Magazine held a Cabernet tasting of 34 Bordeaux blends from around the world and the winner was a pretty unknown wine called Sassicaia that was released for the first time only a few years earlier.
This was the start of the Supertuscan movement that developed because a small group of winemakers was fed up with the restrictive DOC regulations in Tuscany. The old-world wine laws are great when it comes to protecting winemaking traditions but they can stifle innovation and some winemakers decided that they didn’t care for the DOC label and made wine outside of the system.
Some thought they could improve the quality of Chianti by leaving out the previously obligatory white grapes from the blend and making pure Sangiovese. Others used international grape varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to either complement their autochthonous grape varieties or to make Bordeaux blends in Tuscany.
It is a bit unclear who coined the term Supertuscan. Some say it was the wine writer Burt Anderson and some believe it was Master of Wine« Nicolas Belfrage what is clear though is that it stuck and that these wines helped to improve the quality and perception of Italian wine overall. Today DOCs have been created and wine laws have been changed to include these Supertuscans in the official classification as some of them are amongst the best and most expensive wines from Italy.

Tignanello is actually one of my absolute favorite of all times. I'm very passionate about this specific wine. It checks all the boxes for me, so inexpensively... I had the chance to taste every vintages at least twice since the 1989. Never ever been disappointed, except for the 2014. The only problem with this wine is that since the 2015 vintage it has become extremely hard to put my hands on a couple of cases, I have to pay a big premium to get them now, sometimes through a broker, in fact every year when they arrive it's even worse than iPhones in Apple stores circa 2009. Obviously my Tiganello collection alone went from 11K to 24K in just 3 years only because people have been waking up seriously about Tignanello it seems. Ten years ago (or so) I was able to buy a Tignanello just before putting a Wagyu Tajima on the grill, now I have a 20 minute window at midnight every year to buy as much as I can when it gets released to the market where I live (Canada). This wine is obviously absolutely beautiful, but I don't understand the madness around it since 2015... it quadrupled in price since the 2015 vintage, it's not an accessible gem anymore sadly. It's still the best wine to have with a beautiful bistecca alla Fiorentina at sunset though. Every year we are gifting ourselves with a tasting of Flacianello, Tignanello & Sassicaia with great steaks before preparing our cases to lay dow for aging, and it's always one of the best evening of the year. It's gonna be the 15th year that we do this and we have been so excited about this evening every year that we are adding a 5 consecutive years vertical tasting of Yquem after the meal this year. We are going to be fucking drunk and emotional on this evening let me tell you!

I’d never refuse the offer of a glass of Tig but having done a vertical comparatively recently of ~8, the difference between the years was very marked. Most were classically gorgeous but a couple fell a bit flat; it could have been bottle variation but there were multiple bottles of each vintage from different cellars and they were consistent. Sassicaia I have also found to be somewhat variable.

In 2011, I tasted my first Tignanello-a 2004-and I was a bit underwhelmed, so I have not gravitated towards it. However, just this spring I was presented with a 2019 Tignanello at a tasting, and it was absolutely amazing! I splurged and bought 2 bottles. A high 90’s score for me definitely. Just this weekend I had the 2019 Antinori Chianti Classico Reserva Tenuta Tignanello, and it was also really nice-not quite like THE Tignanello, but a great value for less than 1/3 the price, and a good pick for drinking now while the big brother sleeps for a few years.

I’ve read some contemporary writers discussing wine and even vintages. Does anyone today age in amphora?
@jetsblue96
@jetsblue96 Жыл бұрын
Unfortunately, most, if not all, of the grapes used during the Roman period no longer exist. They have since morphed into other varieties that we now see today. Regarding amphora, there are quite a few producers currently using amphora aging vessels all over the world. The most famous use is probably the Kvevri of Georgia, but producers from Josko Gravner in Friuli to Michel Magnien in Burgundy to even Sonoma-Cutrer in California all utilize amphorae.

Did you make this video because I commented on your instagram about wanting to see a Super Tuscan tasting? 😂 or did you already plan it? Either way, fantastic video! Super Tuscans are among my favourites!

I’ve had a Tignanello last month when I was in Italy. A very pleasure full whine. Liked it much, but not sure it was worth the 130€.

Kanstantin! Planning our first trip to Tuscany (Florence, Chianti, Montelcino) for our honeymoon in October. Any top recommendations for wineries to visit while we're there? Thanks for any expert intel!

My preference is Brunello. However when it comes to Super-tuscans there is nothing like the Sassicaia.🍷

Love the Super Tuscans. Alas, as they are discovered by the world the prices are skyrocketing :(

Great timing! We just finished a one week Tuscany Wine trip and had some great wines. What do you think of the Prima Pietra super tuscan?

Have you done a video on Veneto yet? I'm curious about what you may think of Producers like Quintarelli, Del Forno and Zyme.

Hi Konstantin. Despite I put the subtitles on I couldn't understand the sub region you were saying about Sassicaia: the subtitles said 'bogary, bulgary and burglary.' I'm Italian and I couldn't get what you were referring to. Would you mind letting us know? Many thanks

There is a reason why Tignanello is the standard wine on board every Vistajet plane. 🙂

Buddy! I get all of this but what about the price point compared to them? The last one is of course more intense

Over the last five years I've watched new releases of Sassicaia, Ornellaia and Flaccianello fly well over my budget. I suspect it won't be very long before Tignanello goes the same way. Oh well...

Out of these 3, which has the best cork quality? One that does not split and is easy to open even if it’s aged 10 years +?
