This wine features a restrained yet delicate and interesting bouquet, with notes of tobacco, red fruits, and earth. While not as complex or detailed as the '16 vintage, it's round, quite fruity, and delicious in its own right. The age has brought it to a pleasant stage of drinkability, making it an easy and enjoyable choice.

Its current state is approachable and satisfying, yet it might not leave a lasting impression compared to more distinguished vintages. Nonetheless, its ease and pleasantness make it a wine to appreciate in the moment, even if it doesn't etch itself into memory as deeply as others might.

Wine #8 on Elegance & Power: Sassicaia and Saffredi Through the Years event.
