A classic year and a classical Sassicaia. The temperatures were cooler than usual which has given lovely fruit without huge structure. Nevertheless, it needs time, in true Sassicaia fashion. It was the first year in which they made selections for the 'grand vin' and this practice has continued. Utterly 'blooming' on the nose. So vibrant and fresh. The most beautiful, crunchy fruit. Fine, filigree texture. So sleek and with a lovely juicy finish. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
