Tenuta San Guido - Sassicaia 2015 (3L) Chablis 1er Cru 'Vaillons' toasted cedar barkCritical Acclaim 98 points International Wine Review The 2015 Sassicaia is utterly fascinating, and may be the finest vintage I have tasted in the past decade.

On the palate this shows remarkable overall purity, focus and balance with a gorgeous velvety texture and beautifully polished tannins
