Merchant's description
Sassicaia is rightly an Italian icon and has a superb track record for ageing. The 1990 is a wonderful wine with a succulent core of fruit and deep layers of savoury complexity. The palate is structured and richly textured with notes of dried blackcurrant, tobacco and cumin spice. Drink now until 2025.
