Sassicaia (2): The new millennium
I complied these organoleptic reviews over a period of a year and a half. They are notes taken each time I tasted a vintage from my own collection, which were in part purchased by me and in part sent to me by Niccolò Incisa over the past 20 years when the vintage came out on the market. This is a privilege for which I am grateful to him and will now share, at least on paper, with our readers. Thus the tastings and ratings refer to the bottles I was personally able to sample and evaluate. This vertical tasting is complete and the only vintages missing are 1969 and 1973, years the wine was not produced.
The idea of putting together a definitive vertical tasting of Sassicaia is one that I had been contemplating for some time. With the recent passing of Giacomo Tachis, it has taken on a more profound significance and also has to do with his whole professional life. The latest vintages, those from 2011 onwards, were produced under the supervision of Graziana Grassini, a pupil of Tachis who he himself indicated as his heir. For sure, when the subject is Sassicaia, aside from Incisa, the name Tachis is pivotal and for this reason I dedicate this endeavor to his memory.
