Cos and Sassicaia

Lunch at Neighborhood.

2016 Cos d'Estournel Blanc - still needs decanting as the nose was very muted when first opened. Nice with plenty of toasty oak, classic sauvignon blanc with flint. Lean with good acidity.

2008 Sassicaia - very minty, lots of pine needles and forest. Sweet on the palate, and tannins still here. Great concentration and still very young and lively.
