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. — 20 days ago
Big, dark and tannic. Needs another ten years before opening- and then it will be stellar. — 18 days ago

Super smooth, good fruit, nice balance. Only criticism would be it needs a bit more structure this young. But that could be the restaurant’s fault - the steak was too salty. — 17 days ago
