An excellent vintage for Sassicaia that recalls the ‘82 but is better. The color by now is distinctly garnet with brick-red reflections and the concentration is good. The bouquet is evolved with scents of tar, mushroom and dried fruit and it is clear the aromas have come to the end of their bottle aging cycle. The mouthfeel is still rich, full and elegant with tannins that are evident but not bitter and the persistence is excellent.
