100 pts, Ian D’Agata Terroirsense.com “Good full bright red-ruby. Captivating blueberry, raspberry nectar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and milk chocolate aromas are complicated by sweet pipe tobacco and violet on the drop-dead gorgeous nose. Suave and luscious on entry, then also plush and silky in the middle, with ripe acidity providing shape to the dark and red fruit and sweet spice flavours. Very creamy but enlivened by a cool coffee nuance, the finish is creamy but energetic and focused, showcasing magically polished tannins and outstanding lingering chocolaty persistence of exotic wood, cocoa and spices. A seamless, slightly meaty wine that boasts impeccable balance and memorable complexity. Though accessible already, its balance is such that it will last decades despite the low acid impression it leaves… For my money, the 2009 Sassicaia was and still is the best Sassicaia of the 21st century along with the 2016
