Description
Sassicaia 1982
Bolgheri Sassicaia, DOC
Lot 2179: 6 bts - u.2bn, excellent appearance, 6 bts - u. 5bn, slightly scuffed labels, slightly corroded capsules, Lot 2180: u. 8bn, 2vts, 5 slightly scuffed labels, 2 slightly corroded capsules, excellent color and clarity
This might be called a 'feminine vintage', if the phrase were still allowed! Red fruit and cinnamon on the nose. Cedary too. Very full of dry spices. A superb taste of cassis and loganberries. It really is like eating spoonfuls of fruit, with a touch of aniseed on the finish. At 28 years old, this has reached its optimum point where the wine just demands to be drunk. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
