Robert Parker (95)

The 2007 Sassicaia (Cabernet Sauvignon) explodes onto the palate with masses of rich, opulent fruit that caress the palate with gorgeous length and a seamless beauty that is hard to fully capture. Dark wild cherries, plums, spices, minerals and herbs develop in the glass. This is an especially bold, perhaps slightly uncharacteristic Sassicaia in its extroverted personality, but it is beautiful all the same. The inner perfume and sweetness carries through the long finish, where the sheer weight and glycerol of the fruit leaves a lasting impression. The 2007 is more than a worthy follow-up to the profound 2006. While it may lack that wine’s freshness, structure and potential longevity, the 2007 is immensely appealing today, and should drink beautifully pretty much out of the gate. That said, Sassicaia is always the most restrained of Bolgheri’s heavy hitters. This is a superb effort from Tenuta San Guido.

Jancis Robinson (18)

85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc. Slightly cloudy dark ruby. Very neat, nicely integrated nose with definite freshness. Some mineral/iodine/oyster-shell undertow. Very grown-up wine with no suggestion of heat. Bone-dry finish. Cries out for food. Meat probably as the tannins are still in evidence. Just light sweetness that denotes fully ripe fruit.

Falstaff (96)

Intense dark ruby colour. Finely drawn nose with pronounced notes of dark currants, blackberries, some earthy components in the background, very clear. Extremely juicy on the palate, surprisingly open and accessible for Sassicaia, lots of crisp fruit, lots of fine-grained tannins, very elegant, long finish.

Wine Enthusiast (95)

This iconic Italian wine from Bolgheri's landmark Sassicaia vineyard (characterized by little rocks, or “sassi”) offers an elegant bouquet comprised in equal measure by mineral, fruit and spice nuances. The wine consists of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc and the finish is long, smooth and very fine.
