Fantastic. Tasting blind I'd guess St. Emillion Grand Cru. Lots of Cab franc in this blend?? Nose is pleasant but muted; cassis, smoke/soot. Superb texture, so velvety. Rich cassis and berry fruit flavors along with cigar box, leather, spices. Much thanks to Seaquam for sharing.

Very round and smooth on the one side, deep and ample on the other side. Unfortunately this kind of wine has become very expensive. Bought it for around 130 bucks back then, new vintages are at about triple the price. Well, at least there are dozens of great tuscan wines that don’t have the same pedigree, but almost the same quality at half the actual price of a Solaia.

Summer Mondo Event $200+ (Roswell, GA): Deep dark color, extracted, garnet rim; cocoa powder, wet earth, black currant, Cuban cigar, holly, red currant, exuberant ripeness, lots of fruit, green herbal edge is nice counterbalance, good grip to the tannin, black tea, leather, pencil shavings, a touch of black truffle and balsamic notes; in a good spot; '04 Messorio?

This bottle was passed its prime. Dry, very thin, barely any fruit.
