Drank in a blind tasting next to Tignanello 2016. 13 out of 14 people preferred the Tignanello.
Maybe unfair to rate this wine so young, but in the current state the tasting group did not get any pleasure out of this wine, nor can I personally claim to predict a great future for this wine. However, my experience with Sassicaia in various stages of its life is very limited.
Based off of this experience, I would happily buy two Tignanellos instead of this.

My first bottle of Sassicaia ever! I know it's a baby, but it was a business dinner and couldn't turn down the opportunity.
Paired with a Greek dinner.
Decanted right away and drank over the course of two-and-a-half hours.
A little shut off at first, but continued to open up over the night. Started to evolve with more fruit, notes of ripe cherry and wet dirt.
This will only get better with time.
94 points for now, but that score could go up over the next decade.
