Winkler:

Drunk from the magnum in Ticino in 2022: A very special experience on the palate. Colour with a slight watery edge, maturity clearly visible, but in top condition. I had already had experience with mature Sassi with "limited enjoyment" The 88 was sparkling clean and an unrestricted delight.

 

Falstaff: 94/100

Deep ruby-garnet colour, violet reflections. Very inviting dark berry confit, fine Swiss milk chocolate, delicate hints of dill. Full-bodied, ripe cherries at the heart, a very bordelesque Sassicaia, rich in finesse and full of extract, fresh structure, mineral-salty, fine nougat on the finish.
