Lot #539. Antinori Solaia 1990

Description: Consists of 2 Bottles, 0.75L
Region: Italy, Tuscany.
Score: 94 RP.
The 1990 Solaia is slightly more concentrated than the 1990 Tignanello, with a saturated purple color, and a classic, international nose of cassis, lead pencil, vanillin, and smoke. It is gorgeously rich, with a fat, unctuous texture, and a long, highly extracted finish. Well-balanced and already delicious, it remains unevolved and is potentially a 12-20 year wine. In the context of recent Solaias, I would rate it a worthy competitor to the other-worldly 1985. Wine Advocate #95, Oct 1994
Notes: Very top shoulder, hand written notations on capsules, 1 wine stained, nicked, lightly scuffed labels.
