94 PTS WINE ADVOCATE. The '09 Tenuto San Guido Sassicaia is big, rich and opulent; layers of fruit saturate the palate; dark berries, plums, menthol, licorice and new leather; a rich and racy vintage.

92 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. The 1999 Sassicaia shows complex aromas of minerals, berries, tobacco and shells. Full bodied, with integrated tannins and a succulent, refined aftertaste. A pretty Sass.
