Sassicaia 1999 (1 MAG)

Sassicaia 1999 

Bolgheri Sassicaia, DOC

Excellent level, label slightly soiled, slightly damaged at base and almost detached; Excellent niveau, étiquette légèrement sale, légèrement abimée à la base et presque détachée

Wonderful cassis nose. Big, fruity, definite. Great concentration at the heart of it and yet silky. Bigger production than the more powerful 1998. You must decant for all the bouquet and flavour to come out. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

The property of a great bon viveur, who had an eye for the best, this collection starts with an impressive tranche of La Tâche, followed by other DRC cases, Château Latour and other top claret, Yquem, Masseto, Sassicaia, etc. The damp in the cellar has affected the labels, but it also means that the levels, almost without exception, are well into the neck, and the wine itself is bursting with health
