Sassicaia 2004 (1 BT)

Sassicaia 2004 

Bolgheri Sassicaia, DOC

Good level, excellent appearance, tissue wrapped, banded until inspection; Bons niveaux, excellente apparence, caisse cerclée jusqu'à l'inspection,

This was Sebastiano Rosa's third vintage at this great family property. They say there are similarities with 2007, but the wines are very different. Scented and heathery, harmonious and full of character. The tannins seem thicker and denser than in 2007 and 2006 and it finishes a little drier in the mouth. Powerful stuff.
