Sassicaia 2013: This Sassicaia is a real pleasure and simply unmistakable in its expressiveness. Tuscany and Maremma and Tenuta San Guido. One still thinks that the clones once came from Chateau Latour. The blend is always based on Cabernet Sauvignon with around 20 percent Cabernet Franc. The nose is definitely characterized by Cabernet Franc, with ripe raspberries, cassis and cherry aromas. Plus lavender and watermelon. This is followed by a hint of licorice, olive tapenade and green tobacco and a hint of green pepper. In the mouth, the 2013 is finely structured with muscular and polished tannins. All this in a sexy corset - the Sassicaia remains extremely concentrated and concentrated. Ripe plum, cedar wood, a hint of tobacco, allspice pepper. Incredibly dense and vibrating in a piquant fullness, while radiating a magnificent balance. A Sassicaia that lingers in the mouth for minutes with a lot of pressure. This is in a class of its own and a great, long-lasting, world-class wine! The wine was stored in my wine fridge immediately after purchase.
