". . . this is certainly a much deeper colour than the Tignanello 1995. A very intense nose of black truffles, more savoury notes of bacon fat and pain grillé – the Cabernet Franc seems quite pronounced. The palate is full-bodied sinewy and masculine. Red cherry, cedar, espresso and blackberry: this tannic, perhaps conservative Solaia will demand another decade before it reaches its plateau of maturity." Neal Martin, Wine Journal, Dec 1999 |
