Wine Enthusiast Review
Rated 97
CELLAR SELECTION
This supremely elegant and age-worthy Sassicaia opens with an intense bouquet of black cherry, Mediterranean herbs, blue flower, cedar and leather aromas. Powerful but graceful, the palate delivers a vibrant core of black cherry accented with white pepper, mineral and balsamic notes alongside youthful but polished tannins and vibrant acidity. It's not as exuberant as some of its counterparts, but it may outlive all the other Bolgheri 2010s. Drink 2018-2040.
Wine Tasting Notes
The 2020 Sassicaia vintage showcases marked acidity, freshness, and complexity. It embodies the elegance typical of Sassicaia, where structure harmonizes with flavor. This vintage is young yet sophisticated, promising greater depth with age. The bouquet is vibrant with notes of plummy fruit, baker's chocolate, pepper spice, iron ore, caramel, and pie crust. On the palate, it offers beautiful freshness and harmony. Noble and silky tannins suggest longer maturation in the glass compared to previous years. The finish is long, elegant, and well-balanced.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips
- Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
- Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
- Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
- Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
