  Brought to a WB Super Tuscan dinner at Corkbuzz. Strong showing with red fruits balancing leathery tertiary flavors but for me it was overshadowed but the vibrance of the 2001 Sassicaiai it was alongside.

  Medium garnet in colour.
  Ginseng, ginger spice, savoury, saline, meaty, the fruit is definitely hiding at the back with dark plum but still present. On the palate, the structure is still there with velvety tannins but well balanced acidity. The flavor is persistent and intense with intriguing ginseng, medicinal notes (当归). The finish is lengthy with savoury characters.
  Very good wine, a little too old for me personally, but still lively and enjoyable to drink.

  Incredibulously beautiful wine.... consumed March 2021 @Casa Tartufo. Drank absolutely fabulously with the black truffle dishes. Nose from heaven and incredible feel in the mouth. No words....

  more fruits than I expected for a solaia this age. Tbh this bottle tastes much younger than I expected . Still lots of energy. Red fruits , some aged leathery and earthy tone. Smooth and balanced tannings . Overall a very enjoyable wine.

  Decanted for 30 minutes. Fair amount of sediment. Nice bricking. On the nose some dark fruit, leather and barnyard which blew off. Smooth tannins. Minimal fruit, tobacco and leather. The only direction for this wine from here is down. Drink up.
