Tasting notes
I would be surprised by the 2002 Solaia had I not recently tasted a number of wines from that vintage that continue to exceed expectations. In 2002 production was down sharply because of the cold, rainy growing season, which precluded the Sangiovese from being used. The 2002 was bottled with a different label that included the words Annata Diversa' i.e. 'Different Vintage Tasting the 2002 next to the other vintages, it doesn't really seem all that different.
