Remarkably flavorful and complex for such a lean wine. It's beautifully balanced, harmonious, seamless. Hints of plum, spice, anise, tobacco and toasty oak compete for attention, but the wholeis greater than the sum of its parts.
Robert Parker - 93 points
Forever in the shadow of the legendary vintage that precedes it, the 1986 Sassicaia never garnished the attention or accolades that this wine truly merited. This is yet another underdog vintage that showed surprising results in this retrospective. This effort from 1986 offers integrity and grace with fine and finessed aromas of dried berry, tobacco, tar, licorice and grilled rosemary. That elegance has prevailed over the many years this wine has evolved in the bottle. This vintage does not show the heavy darkness of 1987. Instead the wine offers a vertical approach with bright intensity and fresh menthol.
