About this wine

The 2001 Sassicaia, a Cabernet Sauvignon/Cabernet Franc blend, offers aromas of cured meat, smoke, dried herbs, earthy notes and fading dark fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with moderate fruit, savoury complexity and a somewhat evolved structure that suggests a wine in decline rather than at peak.
