So pretty and tasty, I was truly surprised at how good this was right out of the gate! Any concern that it might be too young to drink was forgotten since it was simply delicious filled with ripe and sweet fruit that just made it absurdly tasty and approachable young. My god I want more!

Ya, this didn’t suck. First time getting to try this iconic producer - loads of character and a soft, supple palate for being sangio.

Soldera ‘16 vs Marroneto MDG ‘16. 5 miles and worlds apart. The Soldera is an almost delicate, feminine wine with sweet spices, ripe fruits and has extreme longevity. At this point it lacks tertiary elements yet the wine feels ready. It will evolve but it seems a matter of preference whether one wants to wait for that. If you prefer to wait, don’t try it today, this wine will haunt you from the first sniff onward. Absolutely fantastic and a fantastic contrast to the Marroneto. Extremely grateful for the opportunity.

This is not what I'd expect from a young Soldera, but what a wild ride. The nose was layered and intense with rich cherry and prune, followed by ash, dark soil tones, minerals and sweet tea. On the palate, it was silky and vibrant to the core with zesty acidity, showing ripe cherry, exotic spice, cedar, sweet herbs and inner floral tones. This finished lingered on the ripest and juiciest cherry fruit you can imagine. Through this all, a backdrop of fine tannin lurked, yet seldomly got in the way. Incredible.
