Antinori - Solaia 2021 - Toscane

" More than anything, this 2021 perfectly illustrates the style favored by Antinori today, an approach that prioritizes finesse over opulence. Black plum, mocha, licorice, chocolate, spices, lavender, and menthol unfold effortlessly in the glass. The oak and tannins are impeccably balanced. " Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 100 points/100

" Solaia 2021 is a monument to perfect winemaking. This meticulously crafted "top model" shows not a single flaw. Solaia is a wine of lasting power. It offers generous depth and complexity, with supple tannins and a touch of spice—notably the pink peppercorn imparted by the 9% Cabernet Franc. The finish is exceptionally velvety and smooth.
