This needs some serious air, even now.

All together, got three hours of air. Initially just opened the bottle and let it breathe for an hour, then two more hours in the decanter.

This is an amazing vintage of Sassicaia, one of the best I've had!

Initially had some VA, but blew off with a lot of air.

What we got was a beautiful Sassicaia, strongly in its drinking window, that was purely singing.

Dark cherry, dark plum, blackberry, cocoa, cinnamon, eucalyptus.

I wish I had more of this left.

Paired well with pesto gnocchi.

Definitely decant for at least two hours before touching.

94 points.
