Maturing a bit and now approachable! Still full of tension which few wines can compare!

This opened and unfolded beautifully over several hours. An abundance of regal personality on show - 2006

This was nothing short of epic and slayed some otherwise impressive company. A rare treat - 2006

Forgot to rate during Saturday celebration. On of the best wines I’ve ever had. Leave it at that.

95 Riserva Wow! Just an amazing wine from an original OWC that I purchased on release. Dried cherry and strawberry with floral notes, very Burgundian with a feminine style. Great structure with chewy tannins. I have always said that there is no Brunello that can match Soldera and the 95 is an exceptional vintage for Soldera.

Magnum - Always such a pleasure to drink this wine, can't say I've had it on too many occasions, this is just singing, everything you want from the high toned red berry aromatics, with still an intensity indicative of the young age, magical stuff,

Again. There goes my last bottle. Still a baby stretching her legs I felt she probably had another 20-30 years easy. Primary fruit kind of muted in the nose, but the depth and power in this wine is incredible. I shared it with 5 other people did not get nearly enough and finished my last sips as it was really starting to blossom. Sigh.

Massive. Black and ripe fruit, powerful structure, missing the elegance, tannin is very rustic and a bit dry.

Big Italian Night at the House (home)...youngest and tightest of the three but this wine has such tension it almost bites back! Veracity in a bottle...drank it too early but have 2 cases left 😉
