Description
Sassicaia 1985
Bolgheri Sassicaia, DOC
u. 2vts, slightly bin-soiled and scuffed labels, 1 of which nicked, scuffed capsules, slightly raised corks, excellent color and clarity,
... The soaring beauty of this landmark Sassicaia literally transcends the rather mundane realm of wine critique with its string of adjectives and wearisome descriptors... the wine seems to be getting younger, not older... Of the various samples presented from the 1980s, this wine exhibited the brightest garnet color and the most youthful personality. It shows stunning volume. The integration is seamless and the wine's many complicated pieces fit together with utmost precision like a jigsaw puzzle that renders a most beautiful Italian masterpiece when admired at completion.
