Community Tasting Note

Saturday, October 19, 2019 - A wonderfully calm and even nose. There are briary fruits along with black cherry and spiced plum. It has the scent of violets and some cedar. The palate is powerful and intense, but light on its feet and tannins simply occupy a space. There's some chalkiness to the extremely long finish and the crackling energy of the vintage. Is it the best Sassicaia since the legendary 1985? Could be.
