justerini & brooks tasting note

Cool and svelte black fruits – plum, blackberry, cherry and cassis – as well as liquorice, pencil shavings and coffee meld on the palate with a lovely heady floral note. The sapid finish is supremely long and impressive with wonderfully velvety tannins, allied with good powdery grip and an enduring persistence.

critic reviews

96/100Antonio Galloni,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2022 Solaia is dark, layered and exceptionally beautiful. Like Tignanello, it has gained notable depth and complexity, especially in the mid-palate. Black cherry, plum, graphite, mocha, lavender and dried herbs all take shape in the glass. Gorgeous savoury overtones build into the deep, resonant finish.

96/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous

Antinori’s 2022 Solaia opens with scents of graphite, lavender, espresso, menthol, plum and blackberry. Cabernet Sauvignon is so magical here, especially in its aromatic profile. Deep and layered on the palate, but in the mid-weight style of the year, the 2022 impresses with its poise and long, resonant finish. The 2022 is not a big wine, but it exudes striking balance. Its persistence is especially of note. Solaia is a highlight in a vintage that has plenty of ups and downs. The blend is 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Sangiovese, a bit less Sangiovese than in most years.
