Sassicaia came through in a big way, entering its maturity, complex but remarkably pure and balanced. Biserno is a monster, big potential but should be revisited in ten or more years

Ripe and enveloping. A bit of mint, dark fruit, Chocolately notes. Technically good but a little indistinct. Time in bottle should help

Have to admit that it's good. But without personality... Still to young. 2025-30?

A blend of 85 Cabernet Sauvignon 15 Cabernet franc from a great vintage this wine has a good amount of dark cherry dark plum fruit dark spice and earthy notes with lots of everything wonderful concentration and depth of fruit dark currants and a long layered finish still quite tannic but has wonderful freshness and a long layered finish. This wine needs time but has all the right stuff. Most excellent +
