The 2020 Sassicaia is simply brilliant and beautifully put together, possessing all the components needed to ultimately become a truly classic vintage for this legendary wine. As this begins to unwind in the glass, it releases gorgeous aromatics of pure dark cherries and blackberries, which take on additional nuances of freshly cut spring flowers, spices, crushed stones, mint and a touch of balsam, which are impossible to resist. This continues to impress on the palate with its beautiful refined texture, striking finesse and outstanding overall balance. It remains incredibly fresh, focused and precise, as it makes an elegant transition into the tapered finish that lingers effortlessly. Today, this is only beginning to express itself and there is no doubt this will be an age worthy vintage of Sassicaia that will continue to take on additional characteristics over time and go on to flourish in the cellar for decades to come.
