| Regal in stature, this is a considerable prize both for grappa fans and Sassicaia's many ardent admirers. TASTING NOTE: Made from the pomace of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes that were used in making the fabulous Sassicaia wine of Bolgheri in Tuscany, aged in oak casks for five years. Showing burnished gold towards medium amber in color. A hedonistic grappa, showing generous candied fruits, those complemented nicely by notes of espresso coffee and minted bitter sweet chocolate, and, from mid palate on notes of eucalyptus and honey, all coming together and lingering seemingly without end on the palate. Call this one majestic if you like and I would not disagree with you. (Daniel Rogov, www.wineloverspage.com, Nov. 29, 2008) |
