Tasting note

Wow. This is a stylish young red with currant, light herb, spice and bark aromas and flavors. Medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a fresh finish. Balanced and attractive now but better in 2020. A classic as always. Score - 97. (James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, Nov. 9, 2016)

This dry, full-bodied and woody red displays a complex and intense nose. On the palate, its refreshing acidity, firm tannins, and full-bodied texture precede a long finish.

Blackcurrants and cherries on the nose with slight oaky hints. The palate is soft, well-balanced and very lingering. This wine can be drunk immediately but has excellent ageing potential.

An intense ruby red in colour, at times impenetrably so, the 2011 Solaia shows intensely warm aromas which reflect the climate of the season while maintaining a delicate freshness as well. On the palate, the ripe red fruit and the spices, along with deep and floral notes, define the wine’ s complex structure. The palate is succulent, rich, enveloping, and sweet thanks to the presence of dense, supple, and rounded tannins. The vibrant acidity contributes to the excellent expressiveness of the flavors and to a highly pleasurable, long, and persistent finish and aftertaste.
