Solaia--Vintage 1997
1 double-magnum per lot
Solaia--Vintage 1997 Tuscany "The unfiltered 1997 Solaia (75 Cabernet Sauvignon, 20 Sangiovese, and 5 Cabernet Franc, from a single 25-acre vineyard) is aged in 100 new French oak. There are 8,000 cases of the 1997. The sensational, opaque blue/purple-colored 1997 exhibits a complex nose of cedar, spice box, cassis, and subtle oak. With yields of only 30 hectoliters per hectare, and malolactic fermentation in barrel (à la Tignanello), this wine reveals extraordinary concentration, a thick, viscous texture, yet no sense of heaviness or ponderousness. It is a thrilling Solaia to consume over the next two decades. If a first-growth Pauillac were made in Tuscany, this would be it!" Robert Parker Wine Advocate #127 (Feb 2000) 1 double-magnum per lot
