4.10 / 5.0750 ml@MI6 · Elegance & Power: Sassicaia and Saffredi Through the Years

This wine presents an eclectic mix of flavors, with balsamic notes and a unique jam made of old leather boots (lol). It's accompanied by raspberry, prunes, dark chocolate, dogwood compote, and animal farm notes. The palate is juicy and relatively delicate, supported by mature tannin. While the wine feels quite tired and a bit flabby, it retains an interesting character. However, a more refined balance could elevate the experience, as it currently leans more towards an intriguing medicinal profile rather than a vibrant wine.

Wine #5 on Elegance & Power: Sassicaia and Saffredi Through the Years event.
