Heiner Lobenberg om:
Solaia 2020
/100
Oprindeligt kom Solaia fra et 10 hektar stort område, der ligger på bakken lige over for Tenuta Tignanello. I 2007 blev der plantet yderligere 10 hektar på den anden side af vinmarken og på et meget lignende terroir. Jordbunden består af forstenet Alberese-sandsten med Galestro, en typisk toscansk klippe bestående af kalksten i sort skifer. Undergrunden på begge Solaia-steder er lerholdig og kan derfor lagre fugt meget godt. Hvor mange druer, der skal være på hver enkelt vinstok, afgøres i foråret, men udbyttet er altid overkommeligt lille. Det perfekte tidspunkt for høsten besluttes generelt i et 20-dages vindue, hektar for hektar. Efter 14 til 16 måneders lagring på 100 procent nye franske fade fra Taransaud- og Remond-kældrene, som producerer et organoleptisk fad, der er specielt velegnet til Solaia, får vinen lov til at modne i flasken i endnu et år, før den kommer på markedet. Solaia modnes i sin egen kælder på Tenuta Tignanello. Næsen er præget af en næsten mystisk krydrethed og mørk bærfrugt. Aromaer af fersken, tjære, silkeblød vanilje og krydret sort og grøn peber, mynte og grafit giver en totalt koncentreret og afbalanceret kraft, men også en finesserig variation af smagsnuancer. Vinen virker næsten, som om dens smagsintensitet er blevet komprimeret. Den store tæthed af mørk frugt og krydderier og den massive grafitlignende mineralitet fortsætter i munden. Finkornede, modne tanniner er harmonisk integreret. Friskheden er helt overvældende! Denne vin er så ultratæt og intens og har alligevel en næsten svævende kvalitet. Cassis, brombær og sprøde, uendeligt saftige sorte kirsebær. Mmmh, så ung og alligevel allerede en forførelse! Ønologen på Tenuta Tignanello, Stefano Carpaneto, mener, at vinen når sit "sweet spot" drikkevindue efter 5-6 år. Der produceres 35.000 flasker.

Suckling om: Solaia
Subtle and beautiful on the nose with currants, flowers and light sage aromas that follow through to a full body with ultra-fine tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Extremely polished and poised. Classy. Best after 2028. 98/100

Jane Anson om: Solaia
A great vintage of the iconic Solaia, full of cloves, sage, graphite, grilled dried herbs, underbrush and roasted cherry pit. There's fruit too, bilberry and cassis, juicy and mouthwatering, both understated and exuberant, ensuring a Tuscan fingerprint despite its majority Cabernet Sauvignon construction. Has grip and length, and effortless charm, reflecting an excellent vintage with low yields after a hot dry summer. Antinori family showing once again why this wine, that comes from 20ha the sunniest slopes of the Tignanello estate, set at 350-400m altitude, is so hard to resist. Winemaking director Renzo Cotarella. 98/100

Colin Hay om: Solaia
A very accomplished and impressive Solaia. The minerality is very evident. Tasted alongside Massetino, this is a little richer and broader aromatically, but also less effusive and more held back at this stage too. There’s a subtle florality, a little note of sage too, and freshly grated liquorice root. But it’s the patchouli and the parfumiers’ essences of dried flowers that give this its aromatic identity. On the palate this is pure and quite classical, with incredibly soft tannins and lovely cedary and graphite notes. It’s rather more Bordellais than Massetino in a way. Lithe and with great layering and complexity, this is very long and exudes harmony and balance. As ever for me, this seems the most stylish and refined of the super-Tuscan superstars. 97+/100

Galloni om: Solaia
The 2020 Solaia is an infant. I expected a more exuberant wine, but the 2020 is built along more classic lines. Black cherry, plum, gravel, incense, smoke, pencil shavings and spice all open effortlessly. As always, Solaia is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine, but it is a Cabernet that is distinctly Italian, with plenty of Tuscan acid and structure driving through the mid-palate and into the finish. The 2020 is a terrific example of the recent stylistic shift at Antinori. In the past, richness and opulence are qualities of a vintage that would have been amplified in the vineyard and cellar. Today, the aim is to capture a more balanced expression of these kinds of vintages, and that very much comes through. 97/100

Decanter om: Solaia
Baked black fruit, ripe, fragrant and intense on the nose. Bright and sour fruit on the palate, quite a sharp initial tang from the high acidity before rich, sunny, ripe strawberries and raspberries come into play with liquorice, toast and cedar aspects giving the spiced element to the expression and graphite offering minerality. This is a powerful wine no doubt, bordering on too hedonistic at times - a result of the hot and dry summer, it's sensual, rich and flashy but the sense of control and layers of juicy freshness help balance the opulence with refinement. Clearly confident and charismatic, fans of this style will delight with Solaia in 2020. Made by Renzo Cotarella, Stefano Caraneto and Pietro Dogliani. 97/100

Wine Spectator om: Solaia
Dripping with black currant, blackberry, black cherry, iron and toasty oak flavors, this red is suave and polished. Features flashes of tobacco and wild herbs that add even more detail as this builds to a long, kaleidoscopic finish. Presents civilized tannins that are well-integrated and provide structure. Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2026 through 2045. 97/100
