This Sassicaia roars in terms of bouquet

The finest rendition of this cuvée that Lécaillon has produced to dateand

refined and gorgeously delineated flavors supported by an almost pungent minerality on the textured

There is good volume to the unusually supple and round mid-palate that possesses good power and verve before firming up considerably on the moderately long and reasonably complex finish

but not a great vintage for Celestins

Clos Fourtet Vintage:2014 This Sassicaia roars in termsThe 2015 Clos Fourtet has a sensual, warm bouquet with chestnut and smoke tinged red fruit, well defined and more understated than its peers. The palate is medium bodied with fine tannin, elegant and refined, silky and smooth in texture with beautifully poised red cherry and cranberry notes toward the finish. A tang of tobacco lingers on the aftertaste. Stunning. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting. Neal Martin
