1985 Sassicaia
Robert Parker, 100 Points
This auction is for one bottle of 1985 Sassicaia. The bottle shown is the actual bottle available and is in excellent shape. The label is excellent and the fill is base neck. The cork is very slightly raised, but the capsule spins freely.
Robert Parker, 100 Points: "I had this wine in a blind tasting - I have had it frequently, and
have never failed to give it a perfect rating. At the same time, I
have often mis-identified it in blind tastings as the 1986
Mouton-Rothschild. In this tasting, the wine was phenomenal. The color
remains an opaque purple. The bouquet is beginning to develop
secondary aromas of cedar and truffles to go along with its intense
cassis, black-raspberry, blackberry, tarry, toasty personality.
Exceptionally dense, concentrated, and full-bodied, this wine
possesses layers of concentrated fruit that are beautifully balanced
by the wine's sweet tannin and well-integrated acidity. The finish
lasts for nearly a minute. A monumental Cabernet Sauvignon, it is one
of the greatest wines made this century. Tasting after tasting
continues to confirm this wine's surreal level of quality. What a
wine!"
