A legend because… Sassicaia was already well known by the 1980s, but there was a sensation when Robert Parker awarded the 1985 vintage 100 points, saying that he often mistook it for 1986 Mouton-Rothschild. The excellence of the wine has been confirmed at tastings ever since. This was not the first time Sassicaia had wowed critics. In 1978, Decanter held a worldwide Cabernet tasting in which the 1975 Sassicaia triumphed. But its reputation has been eclipsed by that of the 1985, which now fetches prices far higher than any other Sassicaia vintage. Sassicaia 1985 continues to be a benchmark for quality and a favorite among collectors and connoisseurs. The unparalleled excellence of this vintage has cemented Sassicaia’s place in the pantheon of legendary wines. Discover why the 1985 Sassicaia remains a symbol of prestige and exceptional winemaking.
