Details
Sassicaia--Vintage 1985
Tuscany. Estate-bottled: Marchese Incisa della Rochetta
Lot 721 is offered in single original wooden cases. Lot 722 is offered in a carton
Tasting Note: The color remains an opaque purple. The bouquet is beginning to develop secondary aromas of cedar and truffles to go along with its intense cassis, black-raspberry, blackberry, tarry, toasty personality. Exceptionally dense, concentrated, and full-bodied, this wine possesses layers of concentrated fruit that are beautifully balanced by the wine's sweet tannin and well-integrated acidity. The finish lasts for nearly a minute. A monumental Cabernet Sauvignon, it is one of the greatest wines made this century. Tasting after tasting continues to confirm this wine's surreal level of quality. Despite being 11 years old, it remains youthful. My best guess for when it will reach full maturity is between 2000-2025. What a wine! Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #E2002 (Feb 1997)
