Sassicaia 1997

Tasting notes

"Now this is more like it. A very Bordeaux-like nose with cedar, cigar-box, autumn leaves and a touch of damp earth. With some aeration, more Morello evolves, a touch of raspberry. The palate is medium-bodied with fresh acidity, very crisp and quite backward: a wine that seems to have gone back into its shell. Again, it is utterly in the vein of a Bordeaux , Saint Julien to be more precise with a fairly austere, reserved finish. Good weight though, so I would give another 5 or 6-years before opening a bottle. "
