Sassicaia--Vintage 1998
Tuscany. Estate-bottled: Marchese Incisa della Rochetta
Tasting note: The 1998 Sassicaia exhibits a dense ruby color with purple highlights and a classic nose of cedar, spice box, licorice, and black currants. Medium-bodied, powerful, extracted, and rich as well as elegant and well-balanced, it requires 2-3 years of cellaring, and should evolve for 15-20. 90 points.
