Community Tasting Note

  • IvanLi Likes this wine: 95 points

    June 3, 2019 - The wine shows trademark Sassicaia aromas of sweet flowers and fresh Cabernet stems as well as notes of blackberry compote, plums, licorice, hints of classy oak as well as future promises of leather, earth, cigar box and tobacco. In the mouth it is rich, fresh, succulent and totally drinkable. As with all wines of this caliber you would better wait another 10 years to let it round up and develop even more complexity and grace.
    All that being said, it is still not on par with the best Bordeaux stalwarts.

    6/4/19, 5:16 AM - True. But my comment refers to the discussion whether Sassicaia is the italian equivalent of French First Growths. Which in my opinion it is not.
