Sassicaia 1985

Tenuta San Guido

Bolgheri Sassicaia, DOC

u. vts, slightly bin-soiled labels, scuffed and oxidized capsules, 1 torn capsule partially revealing cork, ex-Aulden Cellars with Sotheby's

In 2016, a very scented bouquet, elegantly lingering rather than the powerhouse it was. A lovely sleek wine that is a real thoroughbred. Beautiful blackcurrant flavours, very harmonious and a total coffee bean finish. Silky-textured and perfectly poised - it will stay that way. The difference between the day and night temperatures always enhances definition. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
