Had the opportunity to taste the 2016 Sassicaia and Solaia last night.

The Sassacaia had 2 extra hours of decanting, while the Solaia was popped and decanted.

On this night, the Sassacaia performed fabulously, strong nose going on 40s. Tannic but not overpowering, long finish.

The Solaia had a great nose as well, but didn’t provide as good taste or finish.

Both were drinking well now, but can easily age for another 10-15 years.
