Sassicaia 2011

Received in Original Wood Case 96 points Int'l Wine Review The 2011 Sassicaia is an absolutely sensational release in this vintage, as it displays stunning elegance and class, yet with plenty of muscle as well. It immediately begins to impress as it opens with seductive aromas of freshly crushed blackberries and currants followed by toast, roasted coffee, graphite and minerals, which all come together beautifully in the glass. This possesses a gorgeous fine, velvety texture and shows remarkable balance and finesse as it finishes up long, silky and caressing, leaving behind notes of pure dark fruits. (JD) (5/2014) 95 points Decanter The 2011 Sassicaia comes from a vintage with a cold winter, a mild spring with abundant rains and a very good difference in temperatures between night and day during the summer and there were sunny days during the harvest. You can feel this sunny bright personality in the wine. The nose is open and accessible with aromas of bright red fruit and cream. On
