Pure and intense on the nose. Deep plum and roses. Violet and a hint of mint. The wood is well integrated. Very harmonious

One of the most polished sassicaia I’ve had... silky, glossy and complete, mocha, cinnamon, dark deep fruit, leather, plum. Wonderfully complex with noticeable oak but all seamless. Not too hot- still tangy and bright.

Had this February 16th 2015. Absolutely incredible! Was decanted 4h and was still drinking big after 8h. Saving the last glass for tomorrow in a glass on the counter. I'm sure it will be at the best then.

Bluntly elegant, and undeniably great. Stacey Shipman would definitely say, "such a lush."
