The score for 2006 Sassicaia Bolgheri is 96 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The Tenuta San Guido 2006 Bolgheri Sassicaia is a timeless classic. This might just be the vintage to photograph in an encyclopedia entry for Sassicaia. This is especially true at this exact moment in its long and promising drinking window. The wine shows less volume compared to some of the more opulent vintages, but it absolutely excels in terms of length and finish. It offers amazing drive and momentum that are fueled by the extremely fine nature of the wine's texture and the seamless unity of its flavors. It treads in light and delicate footsteps that will carry it far into the future. As they say in Italian - Piano piano si va lontano (slowly slowly you go far). Additional scores for the wine in this lot - Vinous 97 points , The Wine Advocate 96 points , Decanter 96 points , The Wine Independent 96 points .
