Reviewed May 2017

Aromas of cedar, plums and hints of roses. Full-bodied, dense and powerful with fantastic richness and freshness for such a hot growing season. Muscular. Drink or hold.

Fantastic aromas of crushed blackberry, licorice and strawberry. Full-bodied, with rich, velvety tannins and a long, fruity finish. Fruit-forward and exciting. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best after 2008. 5,830 cases made. *Collectible* (JS)

Review Date: 12/2013

Antinori's 2003 Solaia clearly reflects the personality of the dry, torrid vintage. The 2003 has aged impeccably. It will drink well for another decade, although the style will naturally always be on the opulent side of things. (AG)

Review Date: 09/2006

Despite the heat, this vintage lives up to the Solaia reputation with a slightly more ripe rendition. Toasted and oak spice aromas hit the nose first followed by strawberry and blackberry preserves. The elegance is not lost and the wine performs nicely in the mouth with chewy succulence, dusty tannins and a long finish. (ML)

Notes

Solaia takes its name from a southwest-facing vineyard on Antinori's Tignanello estate, between the Greve and Pesa valleys. The site sits at 350–400 meters, with stony alberese and galestro soils; the wine was first produced in 1978. JamesSuckling.com's 2017 assessment of the 2003 emphasizes power and concentration but also retained freshness. Wine Spectator's 2006 release review describes velvety tannins and a long finish.
