Definitely not the MV! Decent nose followed by very wooden finish - almost like it’s over the hill - vinegary - or maybe the fruit’s dead — 4 years ago
Had a wooden feel to it, is how I would describe it...think I prefer the other George...J thinks should age some more — 7 years ago

Wooden aroma. Aftertaste of Cabernet sauvignon, drank it too cold :-( — 7 years ago
I reaaaally like this. Tastes like an old shoe. But the good kind like you want. — 7 years ago
Fresh green pepper and succulent ripe blackberry on the nose. Balsamicky goodness, makes you think it should be super thick in consistency but it carries a light delicate mouthful. Yummy yummy. Pour this over your salad, your pork chop, in your bath, any place that needs the soft spots marinated. Likey, likey. — 7 years ago
Wonderfully rounded. Smells of shoe leather and wet dirt. In a good way. — 8 years ago
Oranges, shoe leather, caramel, oh my the panoply of esters! With lobster risotto a delight. Salt, bitter earthy Loam, — 4 years ago

First bottle from a six bottle vertical in a wooden box.
45+ minute decant but needed more like 2 hours. Dark red color. Graphite, black cherry, and oak make up a powerful nose. Medium plus depth. More black cherry on the palate with some medicinal tones. Finish has some black licorice, which is odd, but overall fantastic wine with great texture. Finish is medium plus. — 5 years ago
Color : Red
Wine estate : Tenuta San Guido
Designation : Bolgheri
Name : Sassicaia
Country : Italy
Vivino : 5/5
Note : Opening of this Magnum 2002 that had not moved from its individual wooden case in special. Always so many emotions to take out such a wine and please the family. Perfect time to open it and we are on a silky red robe blood with shards garnet. The typical nose of Sassicaia with flavors of black fruits, pepper, copper and cigar. Once in the mouth, the aromas explode and the final is long, greedy, structured and elegant. Excellent.

Ouverture de ce Magnum 2002 qui n’avait pas bougé de sa caisse individuelle en bois. Toujours autant d’émotions à sortir un tel vin et faire plaisir la famille. Moment parfait pour l’ouvrir et nous sommes sur une robe soyeuse rouge sang avec des éclats grenats. Le nez typique du Sassicaia avec des saveurs de fruits noirs, poivre, cuivre et cigar. Une fois en bouche, les arômes explosent et le final est long, gourmand, structuré et élégant. Excellent.
