Rating: 93/100 - As reviewed by International Wine Cellar in Issue 100, January/February 2002 ($125; a blend of 75% cabernet sauvignon, 20% sangiovese and 5% cabernet franc) Medium to full garnet. Enticing perfume of cedar, sweet incense, pipe tobacco and Indian spices. Warm and generous on the palate, with focused raspberry flavors framed by mouthcoating tannins. Dark berry fruit and minty overtones accompany the long finish.

Intensely fruity and complex with a good structure, well-balanced, with soft tannins and a lingering finish. Displays unmistakable varietal flavor while retaining strong regional character.

Rating for Italy-Tuscany: 86 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: quite possibly over the hill<br/>

Tasted by Anonymous on 10/29/2011 & rated 91 points: The nose was funky at the beginning. Got better after 90mins in decanter. OK but not great. My first Solaia. Think Ornellaia and Sassicaia much better. (1082 views)

Buonissimo
