Sassicaia--Vintage 1988
15 bottles per lot
Sassicaia--Vintage 1988 Tuscany. Estate-bottled: Marchese Incisa della Rochetta Lot 728 has a bin-soiled label. Lot 731 is offered in cartons Tasting Note: This firmly structured, medium weight, restrained example of Sassicaia exhibits an impressive deep, dark ruby color, and a perfumed, super-ripe nose of black fruits and toasty vanillin from aging in new oak casks. In the mouth there is excellent concentration, crisp acidity, and plenty of tannin, glycerin, and alcohol in the admirable finish. Though it is neither as multi-dimensional nor concentrated as the other-worldly 1985, nor as opulent as the 1982, it is, nevertheless, another brilliant example of what heights Cabernet Sauvignon can achieve in the soils of Tuscany.
