The 1974 Sassicaia is weighted down by jammy notes of dried fig and dark berry jam. More significantly, it also shows a point of band-aid or of the proverbial barnyard smell that may indicate some contamination by Brettanomyces. You get an oxide note of caramel or Tawny Port as well. This wine feels aged and flat, and it lacks overall dimension. Sassicaia was not produced in 1973.
