Cabernet sauvignon, Drinking 2020-2040
If you are interested in purchasing a case of Sassicaia 2015, please contact our Private Clients team at clients@armitwines.co.uk.
Strictly limited to one case per person.
Sassicaia 2015 is a beautifully integrated wine with lovely depth and great length. On the nose, expansive red cherry fruits and wild berries mingle with notes of savoury spice, Mediteranean herbs and a hint of lavender. The palate is refreshing and elegant with layers of complexity. Succulent red cherry and sweet plum fruits and a note of delicate spice lead to an incredibly long finish with a refined mineral character. Multi-layered and intensely flavoured, this is a vintage which will benefit from long ageing. Drink from 2023 – 2040.
