- James Suckling tastes the legendary 100 point wine, Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 1985 with Victor Rallo and Anthony Verdoni at Undici Restaurant in Rumson, New Jersey.
This is why we love wine. Than you for this Video.... 1985 outstanding... the old scool of wine making.
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.
if james was a wine, it would be single digits.
It better be 100 points for $2423.00!!! Wow!! That is $807.67 per person to drink that wine...
1:19 The Italian guy is a Mafia member! Look at the scabbed knuckles on his left hand!!! :O
Good eye!
I have scabs too, but no mafia... lol
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'd give that 16,500 points.
Thanks for sharing!
Glad they got Joe Pesci to dub Tony.
LMAO!! My thoughts exactly! 🤣🤣
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
phillip seymour hoffman should play this very character, with all the nuances...
He can't
LOL..... I was thinking the same thing though now he is no longer with us. He would have been great doing it, with all the affectations, etc...
james sounds like steve martin and the italian guy is joe pesci
James is a fine man and a lot of fun. He knows wine.
Without JS, it looks like a sit down 😂
Hate this kind of guy who have too much power in wine business... this kind of guy is not good for the wine world.
I never agree with him, he only represents market driven wines,
So Domenic... What are some good wines you would recommend?
James is a businessman, no a taster...I think..
Victor Rallo sounds like Joe Pesci!
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.
It's like licking a cashmere sweater, no make that like licking a pair of pashmina sweatpants.
Did he really call a wine from the 80’s young?
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.
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.
Who cares if a couple of people rate a wine 100 points anyway ?
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.
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.
@@juliendunand6409 That is subjective..Wine enjoyment/tasting is after all
@SANKA 😂😂
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....
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.
sorry I meant Anthony Verdoni!
Texture, color, life? That's not what it tastes like, Toni.
100 points Be sure to not have food with it.
Very concentrated amount of pretentiousness and snobism around that bottle. I work in the wine business but these snobs are really off putting for me.
