Antinori,SolaiaToscana2007

Ferrous and earthy with developed black-cherry fruit. Soy, chocolate, hot spice and surprisingly taut tannins leaving a chalk-dust texture. Richard Hemming MW Jancis Robinson.com (17.5)

Soft contours, silky tannins and textural volume are the hallmarks of the 2007 Solaia. A riper, denser version of the 2004 with the richness of the 1997, the 2007 will please readers with a long drinking window of pure pleasure. The style is intense and bold. Readers who prefer more subtlety will find that in other vintages, as the 2007 is a voluptuous, racy, turn-on with tons of immediacy but less in the way of detail or nuance.
