This fourth flight brings us into what I consider a real Golden Era for Solaia that started withthe 2004. A young, potent wine, the 2006 Solaia out of magnum still needs quite a bit of time. Even so, its towering stature is evident. A rush of blackberry jam, grilled herbs, espresso, licorice and spice builds as the 2006 shows off its explosive energy and drive. Drinking window: 2021-2041. Score - 96. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, Sept. 2020)

Tasting Notes

Inserted blind between the 2005 Margaux and Mouton, Antinori's 2006 Solaia performed admirably well, especially considering these were not the best bottles of the 2006 I have come across. In that context, the fact that the 2006 Solaia held up well in this flight is notable. I chose the 2006, because 2005 was not as strong in Tuscany as it was in Bordeaux, so the wine would have been at a distinct disadvantage in this setting. Drinking window: 2018-2031. Score - 94. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, Oct. 2015)
