Served alongside beef short rib, xo sauce, pickled mustard seed, cumin stir-fried asparagus. This bottle of 2006 was throwing a ton of sediment. Showing mostly red fruits with red currants, new leather, tobacco, earth, forest floor, baking spices…a touch green. Hello Cabernet Franc!! Good structure. The finish is long. Every time I have the opportunity to enjoy Sassicaia, I am reminded why it’s one of the great wines of Italy. I just wish it wasn’t so expensive. Drink now through 2036.

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 +

Opened too early. But it was only a half bottle.
