Ever developing to the last. I enjoyed it very much, especially after the balsamic-ey VA aromatics/flavors dissipated a bit. It was a treat. I suspect I won't be fortunate enough to come across this vintage again. Thanks for sharing, Geoff:)

An outstanding bottle similar to the previous times I have had it. 3 hour slow ox and then decanted at dinner. Went brilliantly with white truffles! Had the Caprili with the veal and the body may have suited the veal but the Soldera was the WOTN

A Brunello of class & finesse that reminded me of a great vintage of Rayas that was floral & elegant showing notes of red cherry, berry fruit, leather, sweet baking spices, rose petal, violets & tobacco.

Sweet cherry, leather, tobacco, very floral & elegant showing more finesse than power with rose petal & violet notes. Soldera is in a league of its own!
