The aromas burst out of the glass

2009 is soft

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

but more influence from the Cabernets creeping in

An almost meaty vitality and more than a whiff of wood smoke underlines the individuality of this truly great wine

2016 Sassicaia, Tenuta San Guido, Bolgheri Sassicaia, Tuscany, Italy UOM The aromas burst out ofThis 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
