Sassicaia 2008

Bottle (6)

The Kallisti Collection: This powerhouse consignment hails from a legendary NYC industry insider. This is a deeply pedigreed cellar with many bottles bought on release and stored since in a temperature-controlled Tribeca wine cellar. A top-tier offering with impeccable provenance.

"The 2008 Bolgheri Sassicaia is a wine without a winemaker. The last vintage made by Giacomo Tachis was 2007 and incoming enologist Graziana Grassini claims 2009 as her first vintage. Within the context of this retrospective, the 2008 vintage opens a new chapter, because it is the first wine to show evident tertiary definition and complexity. In fact, the wine performs beautifully with an exalted performance and ethereal aromas. They include cassis, wild berry, crushed mineral, licorice, petrol and grilled herb. This wine is really coming together now and is entering a very exciting moment in its drinking life. It boasts finesse, elegance and grace. Yet, it also shows unmistakable richness and structure that gives the wine an enormous presence in terms of mouthfeel." (97 pts. Monica Larner, Wine Advocate #230, Apr. 2017)
