Sassicaia 1998

Bolgheri Sassicaia, DOC

Level into the neck, slightly bin-soiled label, scuffed and wrinkled capsule

This was a fabulous year for Bolgheri and Sassicaia has made a stunning wine. A wonderful, vibrant blackberry nose leads to a real earthy/spicy taste, with lots of thick, mouth-filling fruit. It is very juicy and chocolatey, with red fruit, tobacco and mocha. Like lovely sweet blackberry jam on the palate. This has now had the time in bottle to be really complex. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 91
