December 14, 2017 - Wow. In a single word. Impressively long finish with lots of acidity. Surprisingly fresh. Lots of sweet red berry fruit, leather, earth and a big bouquet of reses. Complex and constantly changing in the glass. Elegant and classy. Incredible Sassicaia. I cant imagine this getting any better than it is now. Drink now 96pts.
