Buying wines in Singapore is stupid, once you add in the markups, taxes and duties. What is a daily-drinker in Europe easily turns into a special occasion wine here.

So when I realized I could get these at even below domestic MSRP from an ultra-reliable source, we put together a multi-cases order.

The 2022 Sassicaia is a blend of 88% Cab Sauv and 12% Cab Franc, with a, wait for it, beaaaautiful 13.5% abv. I always have a thing for bottlings from strong growing vintages, but where the winemaker has gone through the pains of controlling the alcohol.
