Tasting notes
In keeping with the style of the year, the 2014 Solaia is pretty, gracious and understated. Scents of dark cherry, plum, tobacco and licorice run through this attractive, expressive Solaia. Though it needs time to show everything it has, the 2014 is a very pretty wine in the making and another strong effort from Antinori in this very challenging year. Production is down a whopping 40%.

78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Sangiovese, 7% Cabernet Franc. Strong fruit cake aroma, vivid cassis on the palate. Lots of tasty chocolate on the finish. Early days for this, but it has plenty of promise in terms of flavour intensity, if not yet complexity. (RH)
