4.3 / 5.0750 ml@MI6 · Elegance & Power: Sassicaia and Saffredi Through the Years

This wine features a meaty and smoky bouquet, enriched with notes of ripe fruits, spices, tobacco, and herbs, creating a deliciously complex aroma. The palate is just as appealing, being round and ripe, leading to a long aftertaste that's brimming with flavours. Its incredible freshness is balanced with mature tannins and a nice bitterness in the finish, adding an interesting layer to the taste. This wine's focus and depth make it a compelling choice, showcasing a well-orchestrated array of sensory elements that come together in a unique and focused manner.

Wine #10 on Elegance & Power: Sassicaia and Saffredi Through the Years event.
