There are always surprises tasting wine ... good and bad ones. I had high hopes that 1997, a profound vintage, would produce the finest Sassicaia since the immortal 1985. A very good wine for sure, but much lighter and significantly less concentrated than anticipated, this dark ruby-colored Sassicaia exhibits moderate levels of ripeness, herbaceous black currant aromas and flavors, in addition to toasty new oak. Soft, with a surprisingly short, insubstantial finish, this wine looks to be on a rapid evolution track.

Dark ruby red. Blackberry, with lots of fresh herb and meat character. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and loads of fresh fruit and tarragon. Dill flavors on the finish. Textbook Sassicaia that grows in the mouth. Give it a little more time.--1997 Italian blind retrospective.

Intense, still going strong, a bit inky but also still with some freshness – but it clearly tastes as though it was made in a different era. Less sophisticated than the younger vintages shown at this dinner at Oswald’s.

The 1997 Sassicaia has aged exceptionally well. Creamy, layered and enveloping, the 1997 is so alluring today. The warm, dry year (which would be considered moderate today) yielded a Sassicaia endowed with notable depth, soft curves and tons of pure sensuality. A warm, dry winter and spring led to early budbreak. Temperatures then cooled, which caused ripening to halt. That was probably a blessing in disguise, as it gave the vines time to rest before warm, dry temperatures returned and then persisted through to harvest. Yields were low, something that comes through in the wine's density. The 1997 spent 16 days on the skins and 24 months in barrel.
