  醒酒四个小时以上，中宝石红色，闻香有野肉，充分融合的香料味，雪松，李子和巧克力的香味，还有一些香草味，入口酸度高，酒液咸，收口微甜，单宁颗粒细腻几乎感觉不到，能感受到矿物感，石墨的气息，话梅一类梅果香气，些许雪松的味道，后段是香料感，余味红果，香草，巧克力和融合的香料感。两个多小时后还发展出芝麻的香气。细腻，优雅，明亮的酸度，赤霞珠混合品丽珠的经典组合，味道干净得没有一丝多余，这就是西施佳雅标志性的风格。

  Arabba. Good stuff. Truffles and cedar and some cassis. Fruit thinning out a little. In comparison we had the 2014 and that one showed a surprising amount of maturity. And more fruit.

  My wife opened this on a week-day and drank a glass given the disappointing showing of the earlier bottle a few weeks back. As I took the rest of the bottle from the fridge the next day to try, my wife told me that this was a very good wine. And indeed this is head and shoulders above the last bottle. Dark garnet almost to the rim, a serious left bank Bdx style with good depth of dark fruit, iron, nice concentration and plenty of life ahead. Like an excellent but firm Pauillac or St. Julien (LLC?) in a good late eighties (88?) or 90s vintage. Excellent wine, and after a few disappointing mature Sassicaia bottles (incl 1990 and 1975) this clearly changed my view on the longevity of Sassicaia.

  Pizza at home on Saturday night. Bottle in very good condition with bottom neck fill and top of cork dry and clean. 40 min slow ox. A very healthy garnet with just the slightest browning at the rim. Rather muted on the nose, simple red and dark fruit on the palate, very dry with slightly elevated acidity, a touch of green peppers which seems to become more prominent with more air, initially very smooth palate but then medium (-) tannins appear as the wine opens. Clipped finish. Will not fall off the cliff anytime soon but also obviously no upside so would simply pnp.
  A perfectly fine week-day Pizza wine, but of course a bit pricey for being just that... Similar to what my fellow taster stated below already, even if you need a 1993 vintage for some reason, which was a difficult year in Bordeaux too, you will find better and much cheaper options on the left and right bank of the Garonne.

  Very good Bordeaux like wine. Pop´n´pour. Nice development during 2 hours after opening, starting with fruit, going over to wood/earth/etc., and ending with smooth, chocolate, sandelwood. Really a great wine but you get the same experience with Grand Cru Bordeaux at a third of the price of this Sassicaia - so nice experience but never again.
