Sassicaia--Vintage 1990
Tuscany, Marchese Incisa della Rochetta
"The 1990 Sassicaia appears to be the finest wine made at this estate since the nearly perfect 1985. It boasts a saturated purple, almost bluish in color, and a sensational yet unevolved and youthful aromatic profile of sweet, nearly overripe black currants, cedar, tobacco, and toasty new oak. Full-bodied, with staggering concentration and extract levels, this tannic, superpure, well-defined Cabernet possesses low enough acidty and sweet enough tannins to make it accessible to those readers unable to defer their gratification. But do not expect this wine to attain its plateau of maturity before the end of the century; it will last through 2010." Wine Spectator, Guide to Buying Wine, Fourth Edition
