Marchesi Antinori's 2013 Solaia is a profound and meaningful wine that is based mostly on Cabernet Sauvignon with Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc in supporting roles. It sports a dark and thick texture with plump fruit and spice, grilled herb and black pepper. The bouquet is intense and layered with the kind of complexity that is best admired as the wine shifts and evolves in the glass. The textual impact is also impressive—you feel the inherent power and the structure, but these elements are never overdone. The best is yet to come; this Solaia is built for long cellar aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-ccdLe fIsIUx\"\u003eThis is an excellent set of wines from Marchesi Antinori and the talented winemaking team based in Tuscany. I am particularly impressed by the two top wines - Tignanello and Solaia - from the 2013 vintage. Compared to 2011 and 2012, both these wines show a superior sense of harmony and intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-jounMn cnxUjl\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2020 - 96P\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-jounMn cnxUjl\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2013 Solaia from magnum is a special wine. I spent a month in Tuscany that year, so my memories of the growing season are many. In the glass, the 2013 is exquisitely perfumed, vibrant and wonderfully nuanced. I wouldn’t plan on opening bottles anytime soon, but it’s great to see that the 2013 is living up to its potential.\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.
