There are various ways to describe the bouquet. First, is the wine’s sweet side, as this beautiful 75-20-5 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc delivers ripe cherry, black currant, baking spice and dark chocolate. After that, the wine becomes redolent of tobacco, balsam, bay leaf, rum cake and dark licorice. The bouquet is all encompassing and complete. A firmly structured backbone is padded generously by the fleshy richness of its consistency. This is a gorgeous wine that will age for decades. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2040. The past 12 months mark one of the most exciting times in the long, long history of Antinori. Marchese Piero Antinori and his daughters inaugurated their monumental winery in Bargino, about 20 minutes from Florence in late 2012 after a series of last-minute preparations and sleepless nights. Winery doors officially opened to the public in 2013. It would be impossible to exaggerate to grandeur of this sprawling, multimillion-dollar underground edifice. Angelo Gaja told me at the opening that Antinori’s new winery is the most revolutionary event in modern Italian wine. I agree. With a museum, restaurant and tasting area, it represents Italy’s most ambitious effort yet to make wine the ultimate destination. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-jounMn cnxUjl\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2020 - 98P\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-jounMn cnxUjl\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2010 Solaia rounds out this flight in style. Swaths of tannin give the 2010 a real sense of explosive energy and vibrancy that only builds with time in the glass. A whole range of dark aromas and flavors give the 2010 its brooding, inward personality. Tasted from magnum, the 2010 is very young, but its pedigree is unmistakable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-jounMn cnxUjl\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"border-borderMain\/50 ring-borderMain\/50 divide-borderMain\/50 dark:divide-borderMainDark\/50  dark:ring-borderMainDark\/50 dark:border-borderMainDark\/50 bg-transparent\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-md\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relative default font-sans text-base text-textMain dark:text-textMainDark selection:bg-super\/50 selection:text-textMain dark:selection:bg-superDuper\/10 dark:selection:text-superDark\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"min-w-0 break-words [word-break:break-word]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose dark:prose-invert inline leading-normal break-words min-w-0 [word-break:break-word]\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSolaia is a prestigious wine produced by the Antinori family in Tuscany, Italy.
