2008 Sassicaia Bolgheri from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 97 points, James Suckling 97 points, Wine Enthusiast 97 points, Jean-Marc Quarin 97 points, Decanter 97 points, The Wine Independent 97 points, Vinous 96 points, Falstaff Magazine 96 points, Wines Critic 96 points, Winedoctor 95 points. This is the tasting note for 2008 Sassicaia Bolgheri from Robert Parker - The 2008 Bolgheri Sassicaia is a wine without a winemaker. The last vintage made by Giacomo Tachis was 2007 and incoming enologist Graziana Grassini claims 2009 as her first vintage. Within the context of this retrospective, the 2008 vintage opens a new chapter, because it is the first wine to show evident tertiary definition and complexity. In fact, the wine performs beautifully with an exalted performance and ethereal aromas. They include cassis, wild berry, crushed mineral, licorice, petrol and grilled herb. This wine is really coming together now and is entering a very exciting moment in its drinking life. It boasts finesse, elegance and grace. Yet, it also shows unmistakable richness and structure that gives the wine an enormous presence in terms of mouthfeel. This was one of the top highlights of the retrospective..
