🏰The 2013 Sassicaia is an 【epic rendition of this celebrated Super Tuscan, a record vintage that promises greatness and remarkable aging potential】. It's an elegant and balanced vintage, showcasing finesse and intensity. Aromas of ripe red plum, cherry, toasted nuts, tobacco, dried fennel, blueberries, blackcurrants, rosemary, and lavender evolve into ethereal notes of road paving, tar, licorice, pressed flowers, blue violets, savory spice, and tobacco with age. The wine boasts powerful, polished, and chewy tannins, with a long, focused, and silky persistence. Described as a "cool but classic vintage" with enhanced aromas and acidity, it has a drinking window extending to 2035-2040. This blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc received its own DOC (Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC) in 2013, a rare honor. 🍴 Ideal with rich red meats like rare filet mignon or roasted lamb, game dishes, and aged hard cheeses. 🥂 Perfect for special celebrations, fine dining experiences, or as an impressive gift for a serious wine collector. It's also a prime candidate for cellaring and future vertical tastings.
