From a magnum opened 6 hours in advance of dinner. The nose is all fruit leading to a palate of berries, plums, cherries and hints of dried spices. The finish was moderate to long. Drinking nicely at 15 years of age.

Deep purple. Needs half an hour or more to breathe. Rich blackberry and plum aromas. Good balance. Still will be drinkable for several more years. Great with aged cheese

shared with pat at selkirk manor. i continue to prune the cellar of wine with past due drink by dates. i purchased this wine at a tasting presented by joe canal of woodbridge in 2010. i remember the event as if it occurred yesterday. where has the time gone. unfortunately, my short term memory is not as strong and i have been lazy about taking written notes. this wine was certainly worthy of more fastidious attention. as a baby sassicaia, this wine demonstrates the overall quality of product offered by this producer. the wine is robust and full considering that it is thirteen years past vintage. lots of dark berry fruit. long finish. excellent qpr. thoroughly enjoyed this wine.

Beautiful little Baby Sassicaia. Drinking really well with nice fruit and balanced tannins.
