The 1995 Soldera Riserva is understated, soft, and seductive. Initial stewed notes blessedly dissipate to reveal red cherry, smoke, and rose. Lithe and vibrant, not the most powerful or intense Soldera, but what this lacks it makes up for in balance and elegance. In 1995 the Soldera Riserva is 100% Case Basse (hence the label). Excellent now through 2029.

Spectacular and delicious. No doubt of sense of place with Soldera. A beautiful expression of what wine can be when the winemaker does not interfere with what the climate and vineyard has given him. There are few words to describe this wine, so I will not try to add anything. A wine with soul

HK Children's Skin Foundation Inaugural Charity Wine Dinner & Wine Auction (Tianshan & Luanshan Rooms, Island Shangri-La Hotel, Hong Kong): Translucent/near-transparent ruby jeweled red colour. Nose is to die for......high-toned cherries, almond stones. Palate is sharp, acidic, tannic, high-toned and with a very, very long and extremely resonant finish. Feminine, high cheek-boned, aloof and haughtily beautiful.

Superb wine. The essence of old world wine making. Fabulous purity and balance on the palate with a long sensuous finish. A wine with soul.
