the 2012 Bolgheri Sassicaia shows bold lines and thick color concentration

It's quite long but it shows limited complexity at present

pure and focused finish that delivers both excellent length as well as a seductive mouth feel

A pungent nose is comprised by notes of wood

This should offer at least a decade of development potential

Roche Bellene, Vosne Romanee Beaux Monts other_regions_italy the 2012 Bolgheri Sassicaia showsThere is enough reduction present to push the spice and ripe dark berry fruit aromas to the background though it does not extend to the palate. The amply rich and full bodied flavors possess fine midpalate density and evident minerality on the succulent yet focused and slightly warm finale that is youthfully austere but not dry. I allowed this 24 hours of air and it remained reduced and I am always wary of wines that dont clean up with extended air.
