Score 81/100 · Monica Larner, Wine Advocate
The 1991 Sassicaia has reached the end of the line. It shows overly oxidized aromas of dried meat, old leather and dried fig. This was a hot vintage and the bottom has dropped out on any residual fruit or fiber. The mouthfeel is tight, gritty and there's a sudden note of bitterness on the finish. The effect is flat and void of any significant dimension. However, you do feel the vintage heat. Apr 2017, www.robertparker.com
