Solaia--Vintage 1997
12 bottles per lot
Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD) Solaia--Vintage 1997 Tuscany. Piero Antinori Four damp-stained labels Tasting Note: 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-coloured 1997 exhibits a complex nose of cedar, spice box, cassis, and subtle oak. With yields of only 30 hectolitres per hectare, and malolactic fermentation in barrel (a 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, February 2000 12 bottles per lot
