Tuscany

Grapes: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon & 15% Cabernet Franc. Aromas of sweet tobacco and plum with hints of cigar box. Medium- to full-bodied, with sweet fruit and a silky texture. Herbal.Dark berry fruit and exotic spice scents fill the high-toned penetrating nose...smooth tannins frame the very long finish, leaving one with the impression of persistence and balance.88

The best Sassicaia of the last 10 years, the 2004 vintage is an outstanding achievement. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc highlight the beauty of Tuscany and portray the region in terms of thick chocolate fudge, succulent cherry and currant, exotic spice and vanilla seed. Beyond those big aromas are little teasers: blue flowers, Mediterranean herbs, cola and light mineral shadings. It’s lush and full in the mouth and will hold 20 or 30 years.Cellar Selection
