Sassicaia 1985 (6 BT)

Sassicaia 1985

Bolgheri Sassicaia, DOC

Banded prior to inspection, in original tissues

This miraculous wine is the product of extremely warm, dry weather, but similar weather now would not result in such a balanced wine - the alcohol would surely have been much higher. Here, in spite of the low yields in 1985, the alcohol is perfectly normal. Beautifully healthy, lustrous nose imbued with great red fruit freshness - and this is at its quarter century! Plums and redcurrants. Such finesse of texture. Lovely gummy flavour, with liquorice, vanilla pod and a touch of menthol. Just so true all the way through, with a glorious finish of toast and mixed fruit jam. The persistence of flavour is amazing. All the plaudits are more than deserved. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

這款傳奇佳釀造於極端炎熱及乾燥之天氣下，若發生於現時，並不會成為如此平衡的佳釀，酒精度必定非常高。此年份的收成量十分稀少，酒精度完全正常。雖然已過了四份一世紀，香氣依然健美濃郁，帶美妙的清新紅果。洋李及紅莓，加上香草及一縷薄荷，出色的收結帶烤吐司及果醬味，味道持久，絕對值得嘉許。施慧娜 (葡萄酒大師M.W.)
