This Super Toscana icon is shinning in the 2009 vintage. Magnum bottle, so I assume it matured a bit slower than average. Lovely dark red color, complex expressive nose with layers of black current, plums, coffee, red ripe cherries, spices, vanilla, licorice and sweet spices, full rich body with lovely well integrated tannins balanced by fine acidity, long chewy finish. A true pleasure, enjoyable today, and probably better in 2018. My score 92, drink to 2027

Incredibly rich and well structured. Elegance of France with rusticity of Italy. Needs about 5-9 years until it will really make it to the opera though! #solaia #antinori #tuscany #italy

A masterpiece from the Antinori House. This starts of meaty and leathery with some rose petals and evolves to pure bliss with good strength.

A dream of ripe, sun-soaked berry. Amazing length and flavor. Not too strong. A slow, elegant explosion. 2009 Vintage in 2018

Гранатовое. Спелое, открытое, уваренные ягоды, земля,кедр, специи. Гладкое, бархатный танин. Отличный баланс. (16/02/2016)
