Much respect for people that know wine. Sassicaia is the best out there. I actually think any wine that comes from monticcino are best in the world. Montepulciano Abruzzo. I just have so much respect.

I guess I can understand why some people don't like James as he comes of like an elitist snob, but I am always a little surprised at the vitriol spewed at him. I think he is at least a great wine critic with a wealth of experience...

A snob wouldn't award 92 - 95 points to supermarket €4.99 jobs, such as Spanish reds from Rioja, Navarra and Toro - which Suckling has no reservations doing if needed.

I can remember this was left in a friends dads cellar. A couple of bottles. Having not bought it and so not having a bias I have to say.. yeah it was good but not structured enough for my pallet I remember giving it 89 points

You don't want to teach Italians the art of cheating, do you? We know well what lies behind the high scores of that blond man who got rich in Italy. Tell the tales to the Americans and the Chinese.

Sucklings is a parrot for the wine seller. Wonder wine don't you think James - yes it is firm and crisp just like the money I get under the table.

Love it and all the great Italian wines that passionate winemakers produce...but not a fan of the pompous people like this who make wine so unapproachable.

No wine can last 100 years without a careful recorking process and that several times. Somehow the legacy of the '85 Sassicaia has led to some overenthusiastic verbalisms. Nevertheless, a good wine it is and let's leave it at that.

I'm not especially impressed with Suckling's tasting prowess. He doesn't seem particularly strong in his deductive method, he almost never hits the country blind. If he took a master som exam tomorrow, he would have zero chance of passing the blind section.

I agree. And a Sassicaia, while being wonderful, doesn't come close to a French First Growth Bordeaux.

Unbelievable how Suckling can get away with it. A huge impostor when it comes to defining what he is tasting, when it comes to wine. I must be in the wrong business, I mean - if this guy can get away with it....
@mysterycooper23272 жыл бұрын
I've always found an awful lot of people who work in the wine trade are 'getting away with it'. There's a lot of overblown nonsense spoken about wine. Reminds me of sports journalism & punditry. Hyperbole is used, in part, to justify the cost.

Texture, color, life? That's not what it tastes like, Toni. 100 points Be sure to not have food with it.
