Marchesi Antinori
Solaia Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
A blend of 75% Cab Sauv, 20% Sangiovese & 5% Cab Franc, dark Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruits, spice and flinty notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry, cherry and plum with cacao and herbs with slight minty edge. Soft tannins, well balanced with acidity on long finish ending with fruit, cedar and earthy tobacco. Very nice! Drinking well but will improve over next decade.

Mar 23rd, 2021Such a high quality wine, everything about it. Violets, green herbs, raspberry, strawberry, gum leaf and smoked capsicum with oak set well in the background. In the palate though is where the wine stands alone. The mouth is sprawled with a wide web of tannin that feels of the upmost quality, high toned acid flowing through that sees a eternal finish. Time in the cellar will do this well.

Aug 19th, 2016Out of Sassicaia so had to settle for this instead - tough! 🙄
Have to say, equally good. Big, dark fruits, a little earthy and chocolatey.

Consistently wonderful. Fragrant and inviting from the pour. Decanted and improved in second hour but strong violets fruit and lengthy finish.
