Description
Sassicaia 1990
Bolgheri Sassicaia, DOC
Level into the neck, wrinkled capsule
At 20 years old, this had a beautiful, refined scent, with such lovely violetty notes that one feels like dabbing it behind the ears for total allure. Fresh, sweet mint. Now soft and velvety. Sweet, with lots of coffee and a surprising meaty (like lamb!) finish. Delicacy too. Now beautifully evolved. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
