Finely drawn nose with pronounced notes of dark currants, blackberries, some earthy components in the background, very clear. Extremely juicy on the palate, surprisingly open and accessible for Sassicaia, lots of crisp fruit, lots of fine-grained tannins, very elegant, long finish.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e — Wine Enthusiast · 2007 Vintage · Tasted: Jul 2012\u003cbr\u003e“This iconic Italian wine from Bolgheri's landmark Sassicaia vineyard (characterized by little rocks, or “sassi”) offers an elegant bouquet comprised in equal measure by mineral, fruit and spice nuances. The wine consists of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc and the finish is long, smooth and very fine. This is an ageworthy wine that should not be opened before 2018.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e — Jeannie Cho Lee · 2007 Vintage · Tasted: Sep 2014\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout This Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2007 season had a very mild winter with below average precipitation, which resulted in an early budding of about 10 days on average.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpring was mild with some rain at the right time, which allowed for a good vegetative growth leading to an advanced flowering.
