A bottle of 1977 Bolgheri Sassicaia, bottled at Tenuta San Guido.
'Here is another spectacular surprise from Tenuta San Guido. The 1977 Sassicaia is a balanced and integrated effort with a generous load of dark fruit, tar, spice and licorice. This vibrant vintage delivers the ample pleasure factory you should expect of this Tuscan icon and it adds delicately aged definition as well. The elegantly evolved side of the wine exhibits ash, smoke and crushed mineral. These characteristics add a linear framework to the softer aromas at the wine's core. The mouthfeel is fine, polished and silky. 92/100' Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, 2017

Please see images for fill level and label condition. Note extensive damage to the label and capsule, which appears to be secure.
The Whisky.Auction team has inspected this lot and found it to be suitable for sale. However, please note the absence of a condition statement does not imply that this lot is in perfect condition or free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of ageing. We cannot guarantee that the contents of this bottle will be free from the effects of age, cork taint, oxidation or other faults. Older bottles often contain sediment.

This bottle does not appear to be leaking. While we take every care to pack bottles securely we cannot guarantee that old corks and closures will not leak in transit.
