88 Wine Spectator
First bottle corked; second one medium-bodied, delicate and still fresh, showing a mineral, red berry, meat, spice character. Sassicaia's first commercial wine, this '68 (which includes some '67, '65 and '69) is a rare and expensive collector's item.--Sassicaia vertical. –PM

Tenuta San Guido
Italy’s most iconic wine estate, Tenuta San Guido, has grown even more into their reputation following a recent string of great vintages of the country’s most celebrated wine, Sassicaia. Established in the 1940s, the winery did not present its first commercial release until 1968. By 1985, Robert Parker reaffirmed their reputation, giving the 1985 Sassicaia a perfect score and ultimately putting the estate on the worldwide wine map. The single estate in 1994 became the first ever to receive their own DOC, Bolgheri Sassicaia. Distinction holds true in their production, from their second label, Guidalberto, to their third wine, Le Difese, each wine is unique and impressive in its own way.
