Sassicaia 2006 (1 DM)

Sassicaia 2006 

Bolgheri Sassicaia, DOC

Excellent level, label very slightly wrinkled and with 1 scuff, owc lid replaced with cardboard; Excellent niveau, étiquette très légèrement froissée et avec une éraflure, couvercle remplacé par du carton

Bolgheri had an exceptionally warm June and July this year, although August was cooler. The first thing that impresses with this wine is its beautiful, elegant bouquet followed by a real cassis taste and such noble texture. There is real breed in the flavour and fruit. For the future, stylistic comparisons between the 2006 and the 2007 will be riveting. 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
