The 2009 Bolgheri Sassicaia is the richest, darkest edition in recent memory.
This supercharged Sassicaia boasts enormous potency and concentration thanks to its impressive phenolic base.
Blackcurrant and blackberry confit are followed by spices, leather, tar, road paving and black truffle. It presents preliminary tertiary signs with licorice and crushed mineral.
The wine densely envelops the palate, providing textural firmness and integrated structure.
We can appreciate the sweetness of the fruit and the depth of the oak tannins.
