Description
The 2002 Sassicaia is a concentrated and expressive wine, offering aromas of blackcurrants, plum, and ripe berries, complemented by hints of tobacco, spice, and dried herbs. Its firm tannic structure is balanced by fresh acidity, suggesting potential for further ageing. Jancis Robinson awarded it 17.5 points, highlighting its deep garnet colour and complex palate, featuring forest floor and nutty notes while still retaining some fruit sweetness. This wine is round and fresh on the finish, showcasing a balance of flavours. Despite being an off vintage, it displays finesse and character, making it a rewarding choice for red wine enthusiasts. It's recommended to enjoy this wine soon for its evolving complexity.
