1999 Marchesi Antinori Solaia Toscana IGT

"Revealing its extraordinary complexity slowly, the 1999 vintage is ultimate savoury minerality, with a persistent liquorice note, which winemaker Renzo Cotarella said he felt marks this vintage. It expresses just enough Mediterranean warmth. Dense fruit complements fully integrated tannins and there is remarkable precision from beginning to end. This is truly in its optimal drinking window, where it should stay for the next few years. Those lucky enough to have some should not hesitate to crack open a bottle whenever an opportunity presents itself." - 96/100 Decanter
