International critics consider this to be the greatest Sassicaia of all time. The wine has an intensely dark and concentrated ruby color with garnet reflections. The bouquet is complex and exceptionally concentrated, broad and persistent with notes of tar and spice. The mouthfeel is ‘thick’ and has great structure, incredibly rich and concentrated yet at the same time harmonious, with sensations of licorice and sweet wood. The persistence is very long.
