2009 is soft

This is a long term wine and will be truly spectacular

Bordeaux’s 2010s look to have fully matched and perhaps exceeded expectations

with classic St Julien casssis and cedar on the nose alongside a touch of sweet vanillin spice

The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin

2016 Sassicaia, Tenuta San Guido, Bolgheri Sassicaia, Tuscany, Italy UOM 2009 is softThis has amazing power, elegance and finesse on the nose with a black fruit perfume that is so gentle and subtle, so Sassicaia! Its tremendously elegant on the palate too, but with latent power building in the mouth, with layers of rich, dark fruit. Its a real iron fist in a velvet glove. With beautifully balanced acidity and ripe, rounded tannins, its a superbly elegant glass of wine with a long and very fine finish. This will age endlessly. +. Chris
