Intense concentrated and deep ruby-colored this wine offers elegant complex aromas of red fruit. In the mouth it is rich and dense yet harmonious with sweet balanced tannins. The wine has a long finish with a depth and structure that ensure its extraordinary longevity. Blend: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon 15% Cabernet Franc. One of Italys most iconic bottlings the Sassicaia is drop-dead gorgeous. Structured radiant and loaded with finesse it delivers everything youd expect from a world-class wine and more. Lots of lavender minerals and black currants on the nose. Turns to black berries. Full body ultra-refined tannins and an exquisite finish. This is all about delicacy finesse and grace. Yet there is a solid core of ripe tannins giving it backbone and outstanding form. A wonderful surprise. The Sassicaia is dark and immediate with gorgeous up-front richness density and power. Black cherry jam cloves and new leather are some of the many signatures that take shape in the glass. This is an unusually deep concentrated Sassicaia that is going to need time in bottle to develop the full breadth of its aromas and flavors. Today it is a bit monolithic so readers need to be patient.
