Gave this a two hour decant before drinking, then enjoyed with another hour in the decanter.
Sassicaia never disappoints. I understand this comes at a premium price, but even in a cool vintage like 2011, it's brilliant.
This is the sixth vintage of Sassicaia I tried and I love how each vintage does have distinct characteristics.
Dark cherry, blueberry, blackberry, dark plum, rosemary, eucalyptus, slight tomato leaf.
Absolutely brilliant wine, I enjoyed every sip and wish I had more. Sassicaia should make 1L bottles.
I recommend a two hour decant before touching it and enjoying the evolution.
94 points.
