  April 13, 2024 - This very well might be grand cru super Tuscan, but it could also be that stylistically, it is not for me. Kind of like having some of the S. American cab/bdx wines. Very good, but not for my palate. That being said, this is clearly a well made wine and could easily see someone with more of a Tuscan palate to score this up there.

  April 13, 2024 - Eyes Wide Shut - Day 1 (A quiet place): Nose: Gentle funk, clean red fruits, a bit of grassy and mulch type earth.
  
  Palate: Very similar on the palate, this funk and grassiness is very juicy, kinda reminds me a bit of those wheatgrass shots at Jamba Juice. The red fruits are strict and even a bit lean.
  
  Some air time would've helped this a lot. The fruits seemed light but it was still there, just a bit tight and shy unfortunately. Again, air time would've really helped this one. 94+

  March 26, 2024 - The wine looks brick colored. The legs are slow. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It smells like black currant (cassis), gooseberry, fig, forest floor, flint, mushroom, coffee, lead pencil, medicinal, sandalwood, bark, black pepper, clove, eucalyptus, oregano, wet wool and barnyard. On the palate....black currant (cassis), dust, forest floor, mushroom, stoniness, cut green grass and stems. So much going on here. SO long and luxurious. Looking forward to the 2000 up next from my cantina.

  December 23, 2023 - It is my first time to consume sassicaia. I worried about the state of sassicaia which is so young. but the sommelier of the best french restaurant in korea controlled this wine perfectly. So i could feel the taste of sassicaia little bit. But i can recommend that you sholud consume this wine late. If you consume this wine perfect time, you can feel everthing of this wine.

  December 11, 2023 - Samples from Bill #12: Really pretty and lifted nose with cherry, roses, smoke, mint chocolate and a light herbal lift to it. Palate is fairly airy with delicate red fruit, fresh acidity and nicely refined structure. It could use a tad more length and depth to live up to the very high reputation but this was really lovely.
