Solaia 2006

This fourth flight brings us into what I consider a real Golden Era for Solaia that started withthe 2004. A young, potent wine, the 2006 Solaia out of magnum still needs quite a bit of time. Even so, its towering stature is evident. A rush of blackberry jam, grilled herbs, espresso, licorice and spice builds as the 2006 shows off its explosive energy and drive. Drinking window: 2021-2041. Score - 96. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, Sept. 2020) This fourth flight brings us into what I consider a real Golden Era for Solaia that started withthe 2004.
