Solaia 2012

Description

This stunning expression of Solaia opens with ample aromas of exotic spices, tilled soil, mature black-skinned fruit and an underlying whiff of fragrant blue flowers. The vibrant, elegantly structured palate doles out high-toned black cherry, ripe blackberry, white pepper, cinnamon, clove and Mediterranean herbs alongside a backbone of firm, polished tannins and bright acidity. Drink: 2017-2032. Cellar Selection. Score – 97. (Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, Aug. 1, 2015)
